They are building a new clinical department that specialises in "sense of humour bypass reversals".

Just to correct you - NHS spending hasn't been cut. Pressures are increasing and so money is having to spread more thinly, and so the consequences are much the same, but the actual funding hasn't been cut.

 

On a very narrow definition of a total sum of money this is true (and it's the definition the Government like to use). However, nor has it kept pace with the rate of inflation in the health sector (somewhere around 3.2%) but has been consistently below the rate of inflation so either way it works out as not being able to afford to pay for the same services, even without any increased pressure. And that why the Government told the NHS to find £22bn in 'savings'.

 

And I think the actual funding does get cut next year.

In a written statement to the House of Commons health minister Philip Dunne said NHS England’s per capita real terms budget would increase by 3.2 per cent in 2016-17 financial year.

 

However growth would fall sharply next year, down to just a 0.9 per cent increase in 2017. It would then go negative by 2018-19 with a 0.6 per cent fall in real spending per head in that financial year.

Did the Chief Exec get the wrong end of the stick when he was told he was going to have to shed some staff?
