Why is NI being increased when Brexit was meant to fund the NHS shortfall.

Hi All. I am really sorry if this question has been asked before but I have had a look for a past thread and can't find one.
I have just listened to all the guff coming out of Nadhim Zahawi's mouth this morning on the Today programme. Lots of talk about how the NI rise is essential to fund NHS and social care.. and I can't help but cast my mind back 4 /5 years and seem to remember that one of the main reasons to leave the EU was the amount of money we paid in.. and how all that dosh was going to support the NHS . It was a big influence in many people voting to leave.
(I voted remain but did waiver for a moment on this particular issue )

Has this claim been forgotten about ? Why is it not mentioned in political debate ? And if it has - what is the reasoning given that this hike is needed on top of all the Brexit 'savings'

Well it does matter, pandemic or not, because we could do with that money now for the NHS which is going to worse off because of Brexit.

So yes I’d like JRM, new minister for Brexit opportunity, to confirm if he lied about that money which resulted in swaying some people to vote leave.

That's not really a live possibility though, so a bit useless as a strategy to sole any current problems.
