The government’s decision to end real terms spending increases on the health service could mean that the NHS will be losing out on £25.5 billion a year by the end of the decade, the Trades Unuin Congress' (TUC) All Together for the NHS campaign has warned.

The TUC calculation is based on NHS England’s own projections of zero real terms increases in government spending until the end of the decade.

The analysis was released on by the union campaign on the 66th anniversary of the creation of the NHS (5 July), and at the end of the week that saw health workers from across England lobby MPs in Westminster and their constituencies about pay and the chronic underfunding of the health service.
