Javid said a “serious conversation with taxpayers” about how to fund the institution was “long overdue,” throwing his weight behind a paper by Policy Exchange which warned the NHS was “structured in a way that guarantees permanent crisis.” The Labour government has pumped extra cash into the NHS as part of a ten-year strategy to reform the system as the budget for the Department for Health and Social Care will increase by 2.8 per cent in real terms in the next three years.
