of course under a tory government, who always run the NHS into the ground, if faced with this additional cost pressure then it could be curtains.
the Tories are never going to raise taxes to find the NHS if it gets into real difficulty, they will just say it is inefficient and sell it off
I'm not sure that tax rise won't happen a number of recent polls commissioned to see if folk would be happy to pay more for social care and health were positive .

If I was Boris I'd raise nurses pay significantly and ask for cross party consensus on a ring fenced tax rise of 1p on wages up 50k and 2p for 50k upwards, but increase tax allowances for those earning up to 20k
