Britain's finance minister, Rachel Reeves, is set to announce significant funding for the NHS in the upcoming budget, aimed at purchasing new hospital equipment and increasing operations. Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasizes the need for tax rises to revitalize public services, pledging to end a decade of neglect. The funding includes £1.5 billion for surgical hubs and scanners, and £70 million for radiotherapy machines, with a goal of delivering an additional 40,000 elective appointments weekly.
