In the first study of its kind, the British Medical Journal has reported that 120,000 deaths have occurred as a result of underfunding in the NHS since every day . Analysis of the data showed that between 2001 and 2010, deaths in England fell by an average of 0.77 per cent every year, but rose by an average of 0.87 per cent every year between 2011 and 2014. From analyzing trends between 2009 and 2014 , researchers estimate an extra 152,141 people could die 2010 , amounting to nearly 100 extra deaths between 2015 and 2020 . In the fragile Brexit negotiations, and considering the £ 6.3bn m weekly pledge by the Leave campaign, funding will be the determinant of these figures. The funds needed to close what the researchers are calling the 'mortality gap' would be £ 6.3bn per year.
