Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act), received by the Ministry of Health on 3 June 2025. You requested:

 

The Vote Health estimates for 2025-2026 includes the following statement
on cost pressure funding - "annual increases to address core demographic,
volume and price pressures for frontline health services"

I am interested in the detail behind the makeup of this annual increase.

Please provide the percentages used to address annual changes to core
demographic, price pressures and volume/population increase, all compared
to the preceding year for the following fiscal years:

- 2015-2016
- 2016-2017
- 2017-2018
- 2018-2019
- 2019-2020

- 2024-2025
- 2025-2026
- 2026-2027
- 2027-2028

The percentages should be the estimates used in preparing for that year's
budget; and show where applied percentages differ for operational and
capital spending.
