Expected evisceration? The budget in 2010-11 will be £103.8bn rising to £114.4bn in 2014-15.
Even at a time when the country is having to come to terms with how much it is spending, the Government have protected the NHS. The NHS which the poorest on our society rely on the most.
Do stop the scare mongering.
