Doesn't make up for the £22.5 billion in cuts since 2014

Just for clarification, is the anything that Johnson could do that would meet with your approval? I'm not his biggest fan by any means but it seems a little churlish when he has given the NHS a much needed boost.

He promised £350 million a week by writing it on the side of a red bus, that’s £18.2 Billion a year, where’s the rest?

So it turns out this is not even new money, but money that was already in the nhs but had a spending block on it. Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson is a liar, nothing changes there.

How is this an extra £1.8 billion? The government has always promised it would be increasing capital funding in 2019-20. Last year's Budget said spending would rise from £5.9bn in 2018-19 to £6.7bn in the new financial year. But that was subsequently reduced. By the time Boris Johnson became prime minister, the plan was to spend £5.9bn again. After Monday's announcement that now increases to £7bn. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-49230461
