Theresa May has launched a 10-year plan for the future of the NHS and said leaving the EU will help fund improvements to the health service.
Speaking at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool this afternoon, Mrs May set out ambitious new plans drawn up by the Government and NHS.
The report, published today, breaks down how the £20.5billion a year promised by Mrs May will be spent until 2029, with claims it will save 500,000 lives in that time.
Health chiefs have taken aim at the big killers heart disease, cancer and dementia and pledged to use more technology and DNA testing for diagnosis and treatment.
The Prime Minister said 'strong public finances' and not sending 'vast annual sums to Brussels' will finance the NHS of the future.

Dozens of protestors gathered outside the hospital as Mrs May arrived for the much-awaited announcement.
The Prime Minister said today marked 'an historic occasion' and would 'secure the health service for generations to come'.
Due to have been published in December but delayed because of work on Brexit, Mrs May commissioned the plan last year after pledging to spend an extra £20.5bn per year on healthcare by 2023/24.
The first of that rise, an expected £6bn to add to the current budget of around £115bn, will be seen in the next financial year.
During her speech at Alder Hey, Mrs May said: 'This commitment is possible because of our strong public finances and because, as we leave the EU and take back control of our money, we will no longer be sending vast annual sums to Brussels.'
Among the highlights of the plan are digital GP appointments for all, exercise and healthy living programmes for 100,000 people a year, and interventions for drinkers.

Mrs May said in her speech spending more money on mental health care to put it on a par with physical health was one of her six top priorities – the plan shows an extra £2.3bn a year will be spend on people's mental health
The NHS 10-year plan was launched today, on politicians' first day back after Parliament's Christmas recess – the plan was expected to be published in December but was delayed because of negotiations related to Brexit
Increasing use of technology was also one of Mrs May's priorities, and computers with artificial intelligence will be used to help treat and diagnose people who have had heart attacks, strokes or are at risk of developing dementia
Mrs May said today was 'an historic occasion' and the 'record' investment she promised would 'secure the health service for generations to come'
The 10-year plan has set out ambitions to improve maternity care, including hiring more nurses and specialist staff, in order to 'make the UK the best place in the world to give birth'
Mrs May said she was pleased to see her six priorities for the health service were reflected in the plan drawn up by health chiefs.
These included reducing variation across NHS organisations so 'world class care' reaches all patients; better support and recognition for staff, the 'lifeblood' of the service; greater use of technology; and more mental health support than ever.
By 2029, the NHS hopes changes made as a result of today's plan will mean 85,000 fewer people die each year from preventable causes.
Illnesses in the firing line include childhood cancers, top killers heart disease and dementia, and public health nuisances alcohol and tobacco.
Each year DNA sequencing will be offered to around 1,800 children with cancer or rare genetic conditions to develop more personalised medicines.
Doctors will also carry out testing to identify patients with dangerously high levels of cholesterol caused by genetics.
And the latest artificial intelligence technology will be brought in to better diagnose when patients have suffered a stroke – to ensure they get the right treatment quickly.
At the same time, digital GP consultations – on smartphones or tablets – will be made available to everyone who wants them as officials try to slash long waits for appointments.
Preventing ill health in the first place will also be key to reducing pressures on the NHS, leaders say, with patients encouraged to adopt healthier lifestyles.
Exercise and healthy living programmes will be rolled out to 100,000 people with heart complaints, potentially saving 23,000 people from dying prematurely.
Hospital staff will be told to target problem drinkers, offer counselling to patients who are smokers and encourage those at risk of type 2 diabetes to take preventative action.
Health bosses also want to diagnose three quarters of all cancers in the early stages when they will still respond well to treatment – the figure is currently 50 per cent.
Britain’s survival rates for cancer are among the worst in Europe, with late diagnosis needlessly costing thousands of lives a year.
Tens of thousands more doctors and nurses have been promised to alleviate current shortages, although a full workforce plan won’t be revealed until later this year.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
