The NHS wants the money it was promised by the Brexit campaign.

LONDON — The Brexit campaign's promise that leaving the European Union will mean more funding for the NHS must be honoured or people will lose trust in politics, the head of NHS England is set to say today.

Simon Stevens will in a speech on Wednesday reference Vote Leave's contentious claim that Brexit will give the UK government an extra £350 million a week to spend on areas like the NHS.

Vote Leave was the official pro-Brexit group and was supported by various MPs including current Boris Johnson. The foreign secretary was pictured in front of a Vote Leave bus with a message emblazoned on it reading: "We send the EU £350 million a week. Let's fund our NHS instead."
