Responding to the funding announcement, the Health Foundation said “years of under-investment in the NHS’s infrastructure means this extra money risks being little more than a drop in the ocean”.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement about the NHS before his visit, Johnson said:<\/strong> \u201cWith our doctors and nurses working tirelessly day in day out, this treasured institution truly showcases the very best of Britain. That\u2019s why I made it my immediate task to make sure frontline services have the funding they need to make a real difference to the lives of NHS staff and, above all, of patients.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Nigel Edwards, the chief executive of the Nuffield Trust, a healthcare thinktank, said:<\/strong> \u201cThis is a welcome down payment on the staggering \u00a36bn needed to clear the backlog of NHS maintenance but it will only be a fraction of what it would cost to really upgrade 20 hospitals. Nobody should expect shiny new hospitals in their towns any time soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
