That compares with average increases of 3.7 percent a year over the NHS's entire history, and a 6 percent a year between 1997 and 2010, said Johnson.
Day-to-day spending on all other public services, such as education and police, is set to be "essentially flat", said Johnson, continuing a long-term trend.
"Health spending will have risen from 23 percent of public service spending in 2000 to 29 percent in 2010, and is set to reach 38 percent by 2023-24. That is a remarkable increase. Other public services have been paying the price. At some point, we will need to pay more tax if we are to continue to increase spending on the NHS like this," Johnson said.
