The biggest reduction in NHS funding in its history. And spun as a budget 'preserved' making the NHS vulnerable for ever more reductions in future.

4 billion per year more than offsets the spun 10% cut in local authority grants from central government.

That man Pickles has stitched us up like a kipper and come out looking like a pro at reigning in spending. Evil genius. La-lite trys to spin it as a good thing. Numpty.
