Total Health Spending
What the UK spends on healthcare each year, public and private, across all four UK nations. This is broader than the NHS budget announced at a Budget, which is day-to-day funding for the health service in England. When it rises, more of the country's resources go to health; when it falls, health competes harder against every other call on money.
