The NHS in England is to receive an extra £20bn a year as a 70th "birthday present", the prime minister has said.

Theresa May is expected to detail where the additional health service funding will come from on Monday.

However, she told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show the boost will be funded partly by a "Brexit dividend" available once the UK stops paying into the EU budget.

Labour said the government had failed to fund the NHS properly and was relying on "a hypothetical" windfall.

In her BBC interview, Mrs May said the increase will exceed the £350m-a-week extra promised by Leave campaigners during the EU referendum campaign.

The spending plan means the £114bn-a-year budget will rise by more than 3% a year on average in the next five years.

That will mean by 2023 the budget will be £20bn a year more than it is now once inflation is taken into account.

But crucially the plan just covers front-line budgets overseen by NHS England.

About a tenth of the overall health budget is held by other bodies for things such as training and healthy lifestyle programmes, including stop smoking services and obesity prevention programmes.

The BBC understands these will be protected, but beyond that it is unclear what will happen to them.

The 2015 spending review - the last time a five-year settlement was announced - saw these budgets cut to help pay for an £8bn increase in NHS England's budget.

The deal has been reached after a series of meetings between the chancellor and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens in recent weeks.

If we have Election

Its a Locked Deal with the EU.
No way out of it.

Re-promising an old promise and people acting like that means the promise was kept .

I dont think the above statement is correct

That will mean by 2023 the budget will be £20bn a year more than it is now once inflation is taken into account.

What stinks
is she is setting a plan Past the General Election.
That is what is wrong,
you can not assume she will be in power after that date
Arrogance


Infact she is saying 2023/2024

that is correct Cherie, by the time of the election the NHS will have received the extra money, year on year .... also, are we really saying labour would cut funding to the NHS? If thats what the lady is trying to say, I don't think their strategy will be a vote winner
