The Government will provide support for departments and other public sector employers for additional Employer National Insurance Contributions costs only. This funding will be allocated to departments, with the Barnett formula applying in the usual way.

This is in line with the approach taken under the previous Government’s Health and Social Care Levy.

The Government plans to update Parliament on allocations by department in the usual way as soon as possible.
