Brexit NHS Funding Promise broken

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Pre Brexit: Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week. Vote Leave, take control.

Post-Brexit: No extra money for NHS, Theresa May tells health chief

Thread title would be more Apt if Boris was PM.

As it is, let's be reasonable here, the Tories are not "dead set" on Privatisation of the NHS, that's very much a fringe position in the UK - most Tory voters won't support it and nor with their MP's.

It's another example of a "nasty party" smear - i.e. bullshit that's been repeated so often people tend to believe it.

Aside from that, afaik the NHS already takes up the greatest portion of the Budget, why does it need more money?

It needs to spend its money more wisely, part of that is carefully considering who should be treated with a view to recovery and who is beyond recovering and simply being forced to persist in misery and suffering.

Of course, as with anything these days, the greatest cost is people.

If you think the current "Tory" government is ruthless you might ask me how I would deal with those junior doctors refusing to carry out their vocation until they were paid more money to work late.
