BMA says Brexit claims on NHS are 'farcial and fatuous'

BMA says Brexit claims on NHS are 'farcial and fatuous' Campaigners for Brexit have made "farcial and fatuous" claims about the benefits of Britain leaving the EU, the head of the British Medical Association has said.

In a keynote speech to hundreds of doctors at the union's annual conference, Dr Mark Porter will condemn claims by Vote Leave that the NHS would receive billions of pounds of extra funding were the UK to vote to leave the EU.

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove have said that the health service would get a "£100m a week cash transfusion" if Britain left the NHS.

But the BMA chief will say the claim is "based on fantasy figures" which are designed to deceive the public. The Daily Telegraph
