Original Note:
The news article implies that the extra cost of the NHS is somehow being funded from from Brexit savings. There is no evidence to support this connection. While the NHS is certainly receiving more money, reputable economists do believe Brexit has saved money. https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/the-brexit-referendum-five-years-on-what-has-it-meant-for-the-nhs https://fullfact.org/europe/350-million-week-boris-johnson-statistics-authority-misuse/
