From your first source; The combination of a mismanaged economy plus an aging population has meant that the NHS spend is 50BN less than projected but is a now a larger share of GDP compared to other EU economies because the UK economy has performed so badly compared to the rest of the EU. Productivity has flatlined while people bought more and more expensive houses of each other on credit. My theory is that the conservatives have fucked the economy by being too tight fisted with public sector pay causing a drop in disposable income for about 1/4 of UK workers leading to lower spend in small businesses like pubs and hairdressers etc which has caused 10 years of general stagnation.
