The headlines were terrifying. Hospitals facing intolerable pressures as patients left dying in corridors, the BBC reported.This is not now though.And that was not even a one-off.
During that period, the Tories have been in power - albeit with the Lib Dems for the first five years. This parliament has seen a change - annual rises are now planned to be close to 4% and will end up higher once the pandemic spending is taken into account.

Yes and the bbc have failed to report the 10 years of cuts, removing bursaries, closing hospitals and cutting beds had left the NHS with 100k staff shortages BEFORE covid. They are under resourced, under paid and not given quality PPE. Privatisation has been eroding the service!
