The growing stranglehold of the NHS over public spending was underlined today as Brits digest Rachel Reeves' plans.
A respected think-tank has insisted the UK is turning into the 'National Health State' after another major funding boost.
In an extraordinary spree, the Chancellor allocated an extra £29billion per year and more cash for capital investment.
Ruth Curtice, chief executive of the Resolution Foundation, pointed out that amounted to 90 per cent of Labour's extra public spending.
She cautioned that continued a 'trend that is seeing the British state morph into a National Health State, with half of public service spending set to be on health by the end of the decade'.
