Did you know that ......
When the NHS was launched in 1948 it had a budget of £437 million (roughly 9 billion at today’s values).
For 2015/16 the budget was around £115.4 billion.
But to put that in perspective did you know UK consumers spent £44 billion on new clothes in 2012 - yep its true.
Overall Health spending per capita in England has risen from £1,841 in 2009/10 to £1,994 in 2013/14.
