Both Labour and the Conservatives would leave the NHS worse off than under austerity, a healthcare think tank has warned.

The Nuffield Trust said that the parties' manifestoes suggested that spending on the health service would go up over the next five years by a lower amount than during the Tory-Lib Dem coalition government from 2010-2015.The think tank said that "the manifestos imply increases between 2024-25 and 2028-29 of 0.9% for the Conservatives and 1.1% for Labour.

Roughly half the £1 billion cash injection would go on capital expenditure to buy the equipment, with the remaining sum for staffing costs, according to the party. Sir Ed said: "Like millions of people around the country, I know what it's like to have your life turned upside down by cancer."Thankfully, survival rates and treatments have improved since I lost both my parents to cancer growing up.
