The fiscal rules say NHS day-to-day comes from tax, not new borrowing — which is noble until waiting lists meet a thin Budget. Purists love the constraint; patients want capacity now. Hold the line, or bend it?

    Hold the tax-only rule — borrowing for day-to-day is how you get crises.

    Allow some borrowing while waiting lists are this ugly.

    Cut waste first; funding rule is secondary.

    Rules without capacity are cosplay. Patients don't care about gilt maths.
