Part of £1.8bn NHS cash boost 'is money already saved up', leaked letter claims

Part of £1.8bn NHS cash boost 'is money already saved up', leaked letter claims A £1.8bn cash boost for the NHS announced by Boris Johnson will largely be paid for with money that hospitals already have, a leaked letter has said.

The prime minister said earlier this month: "Don't forget that this is £1.8 billion of new money. It wasn't there 10 days ago."

But a letter - obtained by Health Service Journal and also seen by Sky News - says £1bn of the total will be funded by raising the Department for Health and Social Care's spending limit.
