UK economy grows more than expected in May
UK inflation, the rate at which prices rise, hit 9.1% in May, and is expected to reach 11% later this year.
"Health was the biggest driver with many more people seeing GPs, despite test and trace and the vaccination programmes winding down," he added. The UK's statistics body also cited price increases for metals, some foods including fish and other staples. The British economy returned to solid growth in May, up by 0.5%, defying fears of a month of stagnation. The services sector drove half the growth, in particular health services including GP appointments. Monthly figures are volatile, but thanks to some upward earlier revisions, growth over the three months to May was 0.4%.
