NHS gets £20bn 'birthday present' The NHS in England is to get an extra £20bn a year by 2023 as a 70th "birthday present", Theresa May says.
It means the £114bn budget will rise by an average of 3.4% annually - but that is still less than the 3.7% average rise the NHS has had since 1948.
The prime minister said this would be funded partly by a "Brexit dividend", but also hinted at tax rises. BBC News
