Health experts from the Nuffield Trust, Health Foundation and King’s Fund say tight spending in recent years and increasing demand for services have been “taking a mounting toll on patient care”. They add that there is “growing evidence that access to some treatments is being rationed and that quality of care in some services is being diluted.”
Doesn't sound adequately resourced to me.

Completely fails to account for:
1) Population growth;
2) Ever-increasing costs of new procedures, therapies, equipment, drugs etc.Interesting graph, actually. Clearly shows that funding was slashed in 2010 and has never approached the levels seen during the previous government. The only period on the graph when spending was similarly hobbled was during the early/mid-80s. Funny, that.

Too easy just to show one figure, don't ask me about any other though. But I'd like to see front line spending on NHS. Or see what is going out on interest for the PPP hospitals, the monies disappearing in to trusts, all the private clinics, social care provision etc... to quote a pure percentage increase is Government waffle.

The fallacy that the NHS has been starved of funds needs to be discussed
