Steven here, the funding for the NHS changes quite a lot but the demand for its services always goes up. So it is important to try and find more funding for the future so the NHS can carry on being affective and free people.

mandy here:
I am not good on budgets – not the best to explain – and this is a political question – but briefly the NHS is vast and very costly.
we have an aging population so always need more resources for the elderly.
mental health treatment is costly, partly as the medication is expensive
people who decide on how to spend the money have to juggle multiple health needs – medication, hospitals, GP (primary care)
when more money is allocated to the NHS, it is quickly absorbed into multiple services and people may not see a differenceover the past few years there has been money put into increasing access to psychological therapies (IAPT) for mild/ moderate anxiety / depression
in arts therapies we work with people more severely mentally ill than thatyou may also be interested to hear that part of the NHS plan is to have trained people to work with schools and colleges to help with mental health of young people
sorry I don’t feel equipped to comment on Brexit/ EU!

Hi Brandon! Emma here 🙂
I’m not too sure about how leaving the EU will affect funding as it’s all still a bit up in the air, but generally the NHS is vast and expensive.
I think this video might be useful to explain how the NHS works https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/audio-video/how-does-nhs-in-england-work
Hope that helps!

The NHS can always do with more money as it take a lot to run it. I am please the prime minister said she was going to spend more money on mental health. This has been underfunded for a long time. As for what happens after Brexit, your guess is a good as mine. I do know that there are a lot of European funded research projects which won’t have as much funding anymore so this is a problem.
