How does government funding work?

Government funding, like the £1.5 billion for hospitals, comes from public money, primarily taxes. The government decides how to allocate these funds across various sectors, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. This allocation reflects current priorities and aims to address specific national needs or improve public services.
