  million.

• In 1999 each household paid on average 1,850 per
  year towards health spending
• In 2004 this has increased to 2,800 on average.
• The NHS is having to make savings of up to 20
  billion over the next four years
• However the BBC states that funding will rise
  from 10bn to 114bn over the next four years -
  the equivalent of a 0.1 a year hike in real
  terms
