Fact Check: Sadiq Khan is wrong about NHS funding

The claim:

Sadiq Khan said regarding NHS funding “These pressures are the result of a decade of underfunding and neglect from government.”

Analysis:

This is misleading. The NHS now has more money than ever before in its history.

At the peak of Labour spending on the NHS, 2009/2010, spending was £124.11 billion.

As of 2023/2024 spending will stand at £173.8 billion, the highest amount spent on the NHS with the exception of the additional COVID spending from 2020-2022.
