Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced that the government is making a "record" cash investment into NHS "increasing real-terms, day-to-day spending by 3 per cent for every single year of this Spending Review".
Reeves addressed parliament today, outlining her Spending Review in the hopes of boosting the country's growth, which risks pressure from US president Donald Trump's tariffs onslaught.
She described the NHS as "our most treasured public service", adding that the the UK must have a publicly funded health service, free at the point of use, rather than an insurance-based model.
The chancellor said the government has, in less than a year, recruited 1,700 more GPs, delivered 3.5 million more appointments, and cut waiting lists by more than 200,000.
She also announced that the government will be increasing the NHS technology budget by almost 50 per cent, with £10bn of investment to "bring our analogue health system into the digital age, including through the NHS app".
