I take from that statement on the bus the NHS is where we could be sending it, most are aware its much more complex than taking money from A and giving it to B. I never saw it as a problem then and I still don't see it as a problem now. Once we have untangled ourselves from the EU mess in around 5 years I don't doubt the NHS could possibly benefit from all this. |
True - the specific pledge was £100 million a week...

Mr Grayling told ITV's Good Morning Britain that Vote Leave had only ever suggested spending £100 million a week on the NHS.
He insisted: "The specific proposal by the Vote Leave campaign was in fact to spend £100 million a week of that on the NHS. I hope that aspiration will be met."

However, the implication was that all the money would be available...
And on the Leave campaign posters, it said “Let’s give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week.” - pretty unequivocal...
