Thanks to the Labour government, record capital investment & the hard work of NHS staff, the NHS outperforms its productivity target of 2%.

The 2.4% figure is for April to July 2025.
It builds on the 2.7% productivity increase across the last financial year.
It's achieved by:
more same-day discharges
shorter hospital stays
better use of technology
fewer agency staff,
improved staff retention
more evening / weekend appointments
