Today's Video Focus: Both health experts and the Labour party have accused Prime Minister
Boris Johnson of misleading the public over his promise to give £1.8

hospitals across England as well as capital spending, was "genuine new
money". But is it? This is the latest in a series of spending pledges Mr
Johnson has made since taking office.
Focus of the Day Article:
