About a tenth of the general well being finances is held by different our bodies for issues resembling coaching and wholesome life-style programmes, together with give up smoking companies and weight problems prevention programmes.
The BBC understands these shall be protected, however past that it's unclear what is going to occur to them.
The 2015 spending overviewthe final time a five-year settlement was introducednoticed these budgets reduce to assist pay for an £8bn enhance in NHS England's finances.
The deal has been reached after a collection of conferences between the chancellor and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and NHS England chief government Simon Stevens in latest weeks.
They had been locked in negotiations after Prime Minister Theresa May promised there can be a long-term settlement agreed this 12 months.

Analysis: By Alex Forsyth, BBC Political Correspondent
It was one of the crucial contentious pledges of the Vote Leave marketing campaign: a declare emblazoned on the facet of the Brexit battlebus that leaving the EU would imply an additional £350m a week for the NHS.
The determine was broadly discredited, however Theresa May has intentionally raised it once moresuggesting this funding package deal will greater than meet the marketing campaign promise.
Not the entire additional NHS money will come from the so-called Brexit dividend; there shall be tax rises too. But in linking the funding to leaving the EU , the Prime Minister just isn't solely attempting to show her dedication to the well being servicehowever to Brexit as properly.
That will little question please these in her party pushing for a clear break from Brussels ; however could anger these looking for to retain shut ties with the EU. The Prime Minister is as soon as once more strolling the tightrope of divided Tory opinion.
Is this greater than anticipated?
There has been a lot of hypothesis that Mr Huntsupported by Mr Stevenshad been pushing for near four% a 12 months additional.
This was the determine many within the well being service had stated was wanted to get companies again on monitor and to enhance ready instances.
Reports have advised the Treasury have been initially providing lower than three%.
So the three.4% common seems to be a compromise between the 2 campsand is near the three.7% common enhance the NHS has seen if you happen to look again over the past 70 years.
The closing image is considerably clouded by the dearth of readability about what is going to occur to the broader well being finances.
What it does imply is that the five-year funding plan introduced in 2015, which was meant to see the finances enhance by £8bn above inflation by 2020, has been successfully ended two years early.
And that comes after ministers agreed in autumn 2017 to prime that up by one other £2.8bn.
'Don't neglect social care'

"It will enable the dedicated staff in our NHS to go on improving the care we can offer the patients."
But Chris Hopson, chief government of NHS Providers, which represents NHS trusts, stated the settlement was the "minimum" that was wanted.
"After almost a decade of austerity, the NHS has a lot of catching up to do."
He additionally identified that the federal government wanted to work out what it was going to do about social care run by councils.
Ministers have promised the system, protecting care houses and assist at house, shall be reformed quickly to make sure there's higher entry to companies.
