Spending review's key points at a glance

Rachel Reeves has set out her spending review in the House of Commons.   It outlines how much day-to-day funding government departments will get over the next three years, until 2029, which is used on things like wages.

It also covers a department's investment (also known as capital) budget over the next four years, until the end of 2030. This money is used to pay for things like new infrastructure projects.

Politics latest: Follow live updates and reaction The last spending review was held during the COVID-19 pandemic, and before that, in 2015. Here's what's been announced: Department winners and losersSky News has crunched the numbers to see which government departments have benefited after the spending review, and which have seemingly lost out.

The chart below sets out which departments are getting the biggest increase in their day-to-day budgets. The second chart maps the biggest increases in capital spending.

Defence A major recipient of funds is the Ministry of Defence. Defence spending will rise from 2.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) to 2.6% by 2027.

This equates to an £11bn uplift and a £600m uplift for security and intelligence agencies. Within that there'll be £4.5bn of investment in munitions made across the country and more than £6bn to upgrade to nuclear submarine production.

The department is one of the biggest winners of the spending review. In total, an extra 3.8% will be spent from this year to the end of 2029, when the spending period ends.

Much of that increase will be capital spending - a rise of 7.3%, whereas day-to-day spending will only go up 0.7% in the same period. Ms Reeves said it was because of cuts to foreign aid that such defence rises are possible.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office was among the biggest losers, with spending set to fall 8.3% in total over the next three years. Its capital spending will drop 6.8%, with day-to-day spending down 6.9%.

NHS The chancellor announced an extra £29bn a year will be spent on the NHS, an annual rise of 3% on current levels. She says she is increasing the NHS technology budget by almost 50%, and £10bn to bring the "analogue health system into the digital age".

The department in control of the NHS, the Department of Health and Social Care, is also a "real big winner.
