What we spend

We had £448million to spend on healthcare between 1 April 2010 and 31 March
2011: this means that for each man, woman and child in Medway, we spent £1,673.

NHS Medway is committed to using this money to improve your health and to provide safe, high quality services while working to help you stay healthy.
