A £1.8bn cash boost for the NHS announced by Boris Johnson will largely be paid for with money that hospitals already have, a leaked letter has said.
The prime minister said earlier this month:"Don't forget that this is £1.8 billion of new money. It wasn't there 10 days ago." But a letter - obtained by Health Service Journal and also seen by Sky News - says £1bn of the total will be funded by raising the Department for Health and Social Care's spending limit.The letter, from NHS England and NHS Improvement chief financial officer Julian Kelly and dated 18 August, said:"For 2019/20, the government has agreed a £1bn increase in the Department of Health and Social Care [DHSC] baseline capital expenditure limit.
The question of whether the money is"new" was raised when the announcement was made earlier this month.
LOOKS LIKE HONNEST BORIS LIED AGAIN AND DONT FORGET TO GET YOUR INOCULATIONS, HONNEST BORIS THINKS THEY ARE QUITE SAFE, HE WOULD NEVER LIE!!!
Great job Sky, fool the socialists into having a bath thinking they’ve pulled only for them to realise their date was weeks ago and has already moved on. FakeNews - From a reliable source close to the action obviously 😂
What about that 350 mill which was promised
Smoke seller.
If that's the case we are in trouble with the rest of the things he does, a legend in his own mind
Ahh so more lies and subterfuge that continues to go unchallenged. So a normal day in British politics.
Another leaked letter? This time by so called senior NHS sources. That will be the same group who authorise the waste of £millions of taxpayers money whilst the staff on the ground struggle to cope with the pressure of being bullied and harassed trying to do their fantastic jobs
More spin from the pro Bojo team.
Sky must be getting really short of news to try and knock Brexit. Repeating old news all the time. Also who's bothered where it comes from as long as the NHS gets it.
The way will subtly provide “negative” Boris stories like this to appear balanced but won’t tell you that 5 years after a no deal brexit the UK (5th largest economy in the world) will likely be on par with Italy, who’s youth unemployment stands today at 28.1%.
Can HMG define what ‘cash boost’ mean in clear, transparent, uncoded words. Perhaps defining ‘misleading’ as well not to mention ‘smoke and mirrors’
Fake and gay
wah? what happened to our bus money? 🥺
'Clever accounting' = bare faced lie At least his 'promise' wasn't plastered on the side of a bus this time.
When the UK leaves the EU mafia superstate, and stop paying their 9% protection racket contributions, other countries will follow. This is what the globalists fear. UK must leave and contribute the billions saved within the UK?!?;
I guess we will have to wait and see about Boris but must admit I’m so glad to see the back of Theresa May. If I never clap eyes on her again it will be too soon. Just hope she leaves politics all together.
This man is supposed to be our Prime Minister yet so many lies come out of his mouth which is so unsettling to us his citizens to trust what ever he says
The wheels on the PR bus go round and round.
So, if it's money hospitals already have, why havnt they spent it? Something doesn't add up. Skyshite News reporting probably.
Id have no problem paying an extra £5 a month if it was guaranteed to go to the nhs id not miss it but if it was uk wide that would be a lot of money
Yeah money saved up from depriving the NHS in the first place
Ah Sky Lies and the old leaked letter thingy again
Idiot thinks announcing spending plans will help him win the election
My football team only drew on Saturday who is to blame Brexit, Johnson or Trump sky must blame one of them.
