NHS England chief contradicts May over spending The chief executive of NHS England has contradicted government claims that the health service is getting more funding than it asked for.
Simon Stevens told MPs this was "stretching it" and there were "clearly substantial funding pressures".
And, in clashes with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, the PM called claims of a "humanitarian crisis" in the NHS "irresponsible" and "overblown".
But Mr Corbyn said Theresa May was "in denial" over the situation.
There have been several warnings in recent days about the pressure on the health service in England. BBC News
