LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson will announce a 1.8 billion pound cash injection for Britain’s public health system on Monday, seeking to honor his Brexit pledges as he pushes through the country’s departure from the European Union.

That has long been criticized as fanciful by critics, but his swift move to fund the upgrade of facilities and equipment, and to push on with infrastructure projects is aimed at offering people a taste of what he sees as the benefits of Brexit. “Today I’m delivering on this promise with a 1.8 billion pounds cash injection — meaning more beds, new wards, and extra life-saving equipment to ensure patients continue to receive world-class care,” Johnson said in a statement.

Johnson has said he is willing to funnel more money into public services, using the previous government’s so-called “fiscal headroom”, which had been earmarked to support the economy through a no-deal scenario.
