Reeves boosts NHS and housing as some budgets squeezed
Rachel Reeves boosts NHS and housing in government spending plans, with an extra £29bn for the NHS in England and funds for defense and infrastructure, as part of a £29bn yearly budget increase. Some departments will face reduced day-to-day spending, such as the Foreign Office and environment department, as the government aims to balance budgets. The Spending Review also includes funding for AI, transport projects, and social housing, showcasing a mix of investments and budget constraints to meet long-term goals.
