The Government has announced billions in new NHS funding to increase capacity by two million appointments a year. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to allocate £1.5 billion for new surgical hubs and scanners, plus £70 million for radiotherapy machines, alongside an additional £1.8 billion for elective care since July.
While promising to tackle NHS underfunding, Ms. Reeves acknowledged that this budget alone cannot reverse “14 years of damage.” She aims to deliver 40,000 extra appointments weekly and elevate capital investment to its highest since 2010, focusing on reducing the backlog and upgrading essential equipment.

Was looking how big our military is yesterday it’s about 125k 😮 but we have 63k civil servants over looking just the military 😮 how much is that costing and most of them will be on way more then the military personnel plus get gold plated pensions 🙄
Sick/vile/liar Farage helped Labour win by splitting the Tory vote, your children will now have to give Starmer 40% of your assets via inheritance tax to build houses for invading benefit seekers
Only the Chinese army and the India railway employ more staff then our nhs 😮 we are a small country wtf us going on that we employ so many people who aren’t even medically trained 🙄
well we will never see that again let alone effect of it
Do these idiots forget all these lies are there for posterity, I cannot stand Starmer he's like a bloody robot, he's alright Jack
That’ll be them dodgy glasses that his mate Ali gifted him. 👓
the nhs needs to ensure that mature students r treated with more respect, especially after they have qualified. constant scrutiny after this time is, imo, counter-productive. furthermore, if they have been passed by the health department, they have been passed!
Whats depressing is that all the tens of millions of word fests on every broadcast and print media has no effect. They just steamroller on over what the country wants.
The Tories ploughed multi billions into the NHS but without reform it is wasted money.

Exactly put the Emperors new clothes there Soviet utopia only exists in there minds, hopefully it will be the end of this terrible political party of frauds and fanatics.
Stammer speaks the speak but doesn’t walk the walk ,you cannot believe a word from him or the other cabinet crooks
Nothing is by accident, they select idiots to run the country, so when idiot 'mistakes' are made they have idiots to blame.
The problem with humungous borrowing for captial investment projects is that it has to be paid back. The interest on this borrowing is going to be horrific.
NHS is beyond reform, it needs to be privatised, and treatment based on private insurance; and the 220 billion in taxes it costs each and every one of us every year, needs to be given back to us in reduced income tax.
they get like 60 to 80 for 15 mins to see someone they do nothing and your out in 5 mins ….. them
is he fucking her
Considering all the eye glasses he had bought for him he should have vision
The pensioners are old and wise and don't vote LABOUR so Starmer will punish them.
