Boris Johnson said: ". . we are so determined to make huge investments in the NHS. The largest in modern Memory . £34bn. "
The Conservatives' plans do involve increasing funding for the NHS in England in cash terms by £34bn. However, accounting for inflation, The Real increase would be £20. 5bn by 2023-24.
