Property presenter Sarah Beeny has attacked latest plans for the . The Labour government previously announced plans to spend £1.57bn on equipment and buildings within the health service in a pledge to increase the number of NHS and procedures in England by 40,000 per week.
Britain's Best Home presenter, Sarah, has now hit out at the plans, saying that she "doesn't understand it" as she offered a suggestion for a "simpler" fix. Taking to Instagram, in a post captioned: "Not 100% sure of current budget ideas...," the 53-year-old TV host explained that she had been in her greenhouse when she began thinking about Rachel Reeves' plans for the NHS. "I've been thinking about Rachel Reeves last week, announcing billions of pounds to be invested in buildings to solve the NHS waiting lists," she shared.
"Is it just me, or would you not think that that money would be better used so that it subsidised doctors and nurses in this country training to be doctors and nurses, and not having to rack up debt?"
She continued: "It seems really odd. I mean, I really understand the equipment, but the buildings are fine. We just need more doctors and nurses, and they need to be incentivised to train and to work by being paid more and not having debt. Isn't that kind of simple? I don't really understand it."
Some of Sarah's followers agreed with her, with one writing: "Totally agree. There are some hospitals that do need upgrading. There's also the issue of a lot of uni's taking more international students as they have to pay more which props up the uni's finances.

"Hearing a lot of people from the UK wanting to train but not being able to get on courses. Cardiff Uni is also closing its nursing school, so there's that issue too if places to train close down. Frustrating."
Another added: "Absolutely agree with you Sarah especially when we have medical students leaving universities as qualified GPs and are having to work as barristers because there's not enough funding for GPs. Only 3% of the entire NHS budget goes to GP funding which is an utter disgrace!!!"
Meanwhile, a third said: "It's going to be a lot of empty new rooms and no staff to fill them. I don't think this is the answer either."
