Yes and no. The NHS needs a funding boost. But we are going to get hit twice over - once by the financial costs of Brexit, and again by a rise in taxation. In times of financial hardship this will hit the poorest the hardest. And I’m guessing that other departments will take cuts to fund it too so there’ll be cuts to education, the environment etc.
The only good thing is that even the staunchest pro Brexit papers haven’t had the gall to claim this increase is thanks to Brexit.
