No it isn't.

Yes, it is.

At the risk of repeating myself, the sustainability of the NHS in the long term is contingent on money being spent on social care. Do that and the NHS is eminently sustainable.

OK: so when you said “The NHS isn’t sustainable in the long term, regardless of how much money gets thrown at it”, you meant that it is sustainable in long term, regardless of how much money gets thrown at it, on condition that money is spent on social care.

Now that that’s clear, I can just say that assessment simply isn’t correct.
