Bit weird of you to use that NHS Providers site. Chris is here talking about the Conservative party making misleading claims:

> So here is a challenge to politicians who say they support the NHS. Be clear and straight about the numbers – for example, don’t double count what’s already been announced and don’t confuse five and one year commitments to boost a headline number. Acknowledge the scale of the funding needed to deliver services to meet our growing needs, and to rebuild our NHS, making it fit for the 21st century. That means looking beyond hospitals, important though they are, to other parts of the service which have suffered similar neglect, for which patients are today paying the price.

That "double counting" means that the amount of money being invested is less than claimed; the numbers of new staff being trained & recruited or retained is less than claimed; the numbers of new hospitals being built is less than claimed; etc.
