During the referendum on Britain's European Union membership, Johnson's"Vote Leave" campaign promised to divert £350 million a week sent to Brussels to the NHS after Brexit. In an article in the Sunday Times, Johnson paid tribute to NHS staff but noted"the pressures, the delays, the cancellations and the obvious need to get more funding to the front line."
