Lib Dems join pledging war over NHS with plan for extra £35bn Plan would take NHS England’s budget to £142.6bn by 2023-24 as £12.9bn will go to social care
The Liberal Democrats have joined the bidding war over the NHS by promising to invest an extra £35bn into health and social care over the next five years.
The party plans to fund this through its signature policy of adding a penny to the basic rate of income tax, which it says would raise £7bn. This would see NHS England’s budget grow to £142.8bn by 2023-24. The Guardian
