The Liberal Democrats will put a £9.4 billion plan to fund health and social care at the heart of their manifesto
Sir Ed Davey’s party has focused its campaign on Tory-held seats in the so-called blue wall and sought to reassure voters by ruling out increases to income tax, VAT and national insurance contributions. By 2028-29 a Liberal Democrat government would provide an extra £3.7 billion a year for day-to-day spending, helping to recruit 4,000 GPs and retain a further 4,000 within the profession.
The manifesto will also set out plans to overhaul the water industry and tackle sewage pollution, a key theme of the Lib Dem campaign. The £810 million annual cost of the policy would be funded by hiking visa fees and removing the student discount on the immigration health surcharge.
