It would be interesting to see what Brexit might be costing those regions, in loss of EU funding, as against the proposed new money on offer from Theresa’s slush fund.

There is no doubt that some regions, and many people across all regions, have been left behind in modern Britain, and that the resulting inequality accounts for a large element of the anti-EU vote.

I actually believe that Brexit will be the end of the NHS, as a free at the point of use, service. Maybe not immediately but a few years down the road.
There is, IMO, a reason for the chronic underfunding, which pressurises doctors and nurses into leaving.
Stopping the nurses bursary, at a time when we are short of staff, putting off people training as nurses, when we should perhaps have increased it to encourage enlistment, is a deliberate choice of the government.
Brexit now has EU born doctors and nurses going back home, with fewer coming in to replace them, further reducing the workforce, creating more instability. And those EU doctors and nurses who do stay can’t trust this Government to guarantee their right to live here, beyond Brexit, simply because of the way they have treated the Windrush generation.
Add in the number of MPs who are pro insurance based health care I think offering chunks of the NHS to American companies will be seen as a way to obtain better trade deals with the USA.
The big pharmaceutical companies, in America, are already whining that the NHS doesn’t pay enough for it’s drugs, so I think we are screwed. And the people who will suffer the most because of this will be the ones that statistically voted to remain - the younger generations.
