🚨 today’s announcement on new hospitals is more bluster. IPPR research shows our investment in NHS capital so low it would take 5.6 billion per year more to meet the average. The funding the prime minister announced is for 0.54 billion - only a tenth of what we need.
so even with this investment - In just six hospitals to begin with - we will still face crumbling buildings, unsafe conditions for patients and staff, a huge burden form PFI and poor outdated tech.
This is another health funding announcement designed to grab a headline, because it sounds big. But after a decade of austerity it is easy to pretend to be investing lots, when really the cuts are not even nearly being reversed.

That is 0.54 billion/year
