Funding on the NHS doesn't fluctuate with tax revenue. That also means it doesn't rise just because tax revenues go up for a short time. The idea is meant to be that during that increase in tax revenues, you should have a surplus and can start to pay off the debt, allowing you to borrow to cover any shortfall when when revenues go down.

If income tax was increased by say 2% then that extra income could either be used to fund more public services like the NHS or we could use it to pay off our public debt quicker.Recent polls show a willingness from the public to pay more tax to secure the future of the NHS

I hope you're having a laugh using water as an example, loaded with debt, not paying tax, grossly under invested and subsidising foreign nationals bills, if that's progress I think I prefer the stone ages.
