Finally some good news from Brexit!

The NHS, far from getting extra money post-Brexit, is going to face a funding shortfall.
No sh!t, Sherlock!

Hopefully that will bring about its demise sooner rather than later

I agree. Why continue with a crap free service which is 3rd rate at best. Time for an overhaul.

What does it say?

The NHS budget could be £2.8bn lower than currently planned in 2019/20, if the government aims to balance the books overall. In the longer term, the NHS funding shortfall could be at least £19bn by 2030/31– equivalent to £365m a week – assuming the UK is able to join the European Economic Area. If this is not the case, the shortfall will potentially be as high as £28bn – which is £540m a week.

HTH.

That £350m per week would come in handy right now.

It's not all that bad, problem is it's poorly managed and people take advantage of it.

What does it say?

There is a shortfall in the NHS budget which existed prior to Brexit and seems to have existed for a few years if not longer.

And then also some leading economists are saying that due to Brexit there will be an economic impact which could affect the NHS

There is no direct link between Brexit and NHS cash shortfalls but some people are desperate trying to make one.

One of my posts ages ago was that my fear if we do Brexit was that every single issue would be blamed on Brexit and also people would then use Brexit as an excuse to not even try.

It is getting boring now as it is time to put the big boy pants on and get on with their lives.
