An increasing proportion of government spending is already going to the NHS and when people talk of 'austerity' they should be reminded that overall the state is spending more but departments outside health are being squeezed. Whoever is in power will be faced with this problem.

The spending promises made by Boris Johnson about police, health and education are unrealisable in the current financial situation without budgetary limits being ignored. That is even assuming there is a Brexit deal. Without one there will be a massive squeeze on government finances (according to the government). The NHS will also be hit with a triple whammy  EU staff leaving, elderly expats returning and more expensive medicines and supplies in general. The pain to be taken by the health service may just be beginning.
