UK announces $400 billion plan to boost social infrastructure

UK announces $400 billion plan to boost social infrastructure

The UK’s Labour government has unveiled a historic 300 billion pounds ($407 billion) funding package to boost healthcare, education, and transport infrastructure. Former budget watchdog chief Andy King stated that the investment aims to undo the damage caused by the previous government’s policies.

Making matters worse, taxes have risen by 90 billion pounds ($122 billion) over the past 15 years, yet public services continue to deteriorate. The crisis is particularly acute in healthcare, where growing numbers of patients are opting for private care as the National Health Service struggles to cope with overwhelming demand, Bloomberg reports.

Finance Minister Rachel Reeves faces a tough challenge in allocating funds. Bloomberg reports that, on average, departmental budgets will increase by just 1.2%, significantly below the 3.4% annual growth needed to maintain healthcare services. To improve efficiency, the government plans to cut the number of public-sector workers. However, Bloomberg analysts warn this could backfire, especially as the public sector is already struggling with declining productivity.
