So Hunt promised an extra £3 billion for the NHS as if he was being very generous.

Correct me if I've misunderstood something, but isn't that a massively below inflation increase, and therefore a real terms cut?

And tomorrow we'll probably be told that NHS staff can't be given a decent pay rise because budgets are too tight.
