It's hoped it will improve same-day emergency care
The NHS in Devon is to get more money towards new equipment, upgrading wards and A&E departments
It forms part of a £29m pound investment in the South West, including almost £3m for Devon and Somerset.
There are 17 trusts that will benefit from the additional cash, which will also go towards improving same-day emergency care.
It is thought the injection of funds will improve services and access to much needed care during the busy winter months.
The funding follows an earlier announcement which outlined the government plans to give more than £145 million to NHS Trusts across the country to improve emergency care.
