Yeah it would take the money available for each person from 100% to an eye-watering 100.0002%.

Youre just demonstrating that you have no understanding of funding on a national scale. £23 million pounds to an individual, yes, is a lot of money. £23 million for one hospital, yes, may even be a decent sum.

But one hospital is not spending £23 million.

There are roughly 150 NHS trusts across the UK. That already takes us to £150000 per trust. There are SEVERAL hospitals, clinics, surgeries etc. in each trust. So split that again to maybe £10,000 - £20,000 per establishment. That might even be generous. That's per year. Do you even understand the running costs of a hospital? Like... Even vaguely? The budget for translators is miniscule. It just... Is. The facts and figures are available for anyone who wants to see them.
