      So the money either goes to trusts or private. If £8bn goes to private, it comes out of trust budgets which means they cannot hire as many doctors or nurses. Without extra funding, things will not go faster as NHS will get slower. It’s diverting funds. It’s privatisation. If they want it faster, they need to find extra funding.

      They’ve made it quite clear they won’t. Hence Streeting keeps talking about not throwing money at it and bashing on about reform. It’s a euphemism for privatisation.

      Labour didn’t win this election without funding. We just find out who funded them and what they may have promised back (using tax payers money).
