Budget: No major announcements for the NHS
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has unveiled his budget, with no major announcements for the NHS.
Hunt claimed that this was a budget for growth and that long-term, sustainable and healthy growth pays for the NHS.
The budget included plans to make the UK a more exciting place to invest and speed up access for NHS patients to get new drugs.
On NHS pensions, the budget includes changes that will stop over 80 per cent of NHS doctors from receiving a tax charge. Pensions annual tax-free allowance will increase from £40,000 to £60,000 and the Lifetime Allowance will be abolished.
Hunt also said that the NHS workforce plan that was promised in the Autumn Statement will be published shortly.
Hunt also claimed that: "High inflation is the root cause of the strikes we have seen in recent months."

Upcycled Medical is pioneering the recycled textile industry. The company, launched by Linda Ball in 2017, started with the desire to make an environmentally friendly cap in the sports market. To meet the expectations and the requirements of the sports sector they were able to successfully develop a cap with 65% upcycled plastic and 35% organic cotton. After their initial success, they wondered if it would be possible to create a 100% upcycled textile, made from part marine and part landfill plastic, which would put a huge dent in the growing pollution problem.
