Philip Hammond hints at 'headroom' for more NHS spending Philip Hammond has given his clearest hint yet that he is prepared to increase spending further on the NHS.
The chancellor told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg he recognised the pressures for more spending on health, local government "and other areas".
He said he would like to use any "headroom" ahead of the autumn Budget to find more cash for public services.
The NHS, he said, had got an extra £9bn since 2016 but an ageing society was creating "continuous upward pressures". BBC News
