Well its true in this crisis but who could of forseen this as imminent a 18 months ago. And its sort of true in that whatever is spent it wont be enough as there will allways be demands for more resource's. Spending has grown but maybe not in line with the increasing UK population and the new treatments including cosmetic surgery. Were spending loads more in real terms than 50 years ago yet there are fewer beds
...but up here in Scotland it is the Scottish government which is control of the NHS.So it is the SNP who are at fault.If they didnt spend millions of pounds on ferries that get half-built ,and millions on internecine wars within the SNP between Salmond and Sturgeon,then the SNP might be able to fund the NHS a lot more.

But not the funds available for the NHS.
"Currently 32.4% of taxation collected in Scotland is in the form of taxes under the control of the Scottish parliament and 67.6% of all taxation collected in Scotland goes directly to the UK government in taxation that is a reserved matter of the UK parliament...{also}under the direct control of the UK parliament which has remained a reserved matter to itself all powers over Corporation tax, National Insurance, Value-added tax (VAT), Capital gains tax, Inheritance tax, Aggregates "
The NHS is funded mainly from general taxation (over 80%) supplemented by National Insurance contributions.

'During the period of austerity that followed the 2008 economic crash, the Department of Health and Social Care budget continued to grow but at a slower pace than in previous years. Budgets rose by 1.4 per cent each year on average (adjusting for inflation) in the 10 years between 2009/10 to 2018/19, compared to the 3.7 per cent average rises since the NHS was established.'
The SAVE LIVES current government mantra (and cash splurge) was brought about by the immediacy and visibility of the death count.
