On a point of accuracy, it is not for the NHS as the NHS itself, but it is for the Charities run by various NHS units.
These charities support the local NHS units and provide items and support for things outside the national NHS provision. I would not expect the National Government to supply everything that the charities cover.
The UK does spend all it can afford on the NHS, maybe not enough but it all has to be paid for via taxation. Increase in VED anyone?
