Jeremy Hunt 'exaggerated NHS funding claims', researchers say
Jeremy Hunt has exaggerated figures about how much funding he has given the NHS, a think tank has claimed
The Health Secretary announced he was giving the NHS “the sixth-biggest increase” in funding in its history. However, researchers at health economy think tank The King’s Fund have said the figure is misleading and exaggerated.
Following analysis of funding allocation to the health service over the last 41 years, they have concluded that Mr Hunt has given the 28th biggest funding increase since 1975, rather than the sixth.
