The Chancellor has announced an extra £2 billion in funding for frontline services in the NHS. The investment follows the five-year plan drawn up by the NHS England chief Simon Stevens which warned of an £8 billion funding shortfall.
Extra funding for the NHS announced by George Osborne is "crisis money", according to Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, who accused the Conservatives of "putting the NHS in danger".
The Chancellor is set to announce £2 billion extra for frontline NHS services, which he says is only possible because of the UK's improved economic outlook.
Speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Balls hit out at his opposite number, saying:
"This is a typical Tory pattern - a winter crisis and then crisis money coming after it. The question is, is this a one-off, or is it going to be an actual, long-term investment in the nurses and doctors we need?"
He said Labour would tax high-value properties to provide an extra £2.5bn funding for the health service.
