2 Billion pounds for Syrian aid given by David Cameron.

The cause of the NHS problems is people who need medical care and a lack of funding for that medical care has been blamed for inadequate medical care.  

-an in what way is this related to the amount pledged in foreign aid?  I'm failing, completely, to see why one is brought to attention in relation to the other.

Also never said they have had to make a choice between aid in Syria or the NHS.  I said I think the money should be spent on the NHS.

I'm pretty sure that both of these sentences can't be true simultaneously.  If they were to follow your advice, where you think the money should be spent, they would spend that 2bil on the NHS rather than foreign aid, correct? Do you mean an additional sum, a third quantity. As in fund nhs at current levels, send 2bil in foreign aid, -and- secure more funding for nhs improvements?

To answer the first question as i said before the reason why the Syrian aid draws my attention to the NHS is because there are reports which show the NHS performing quite badly and a lack of funding is often blamed, it has been reported the NHS has a deficit of 2 billion, the exact amount given to aid Syrians.

To answer the second question you just have to read the paragraph I wrote fully to understand it. Neither Syrian aid or the NHS requires the 2 billion pounds to exist, I'm saying that I've never said it's a choice that will cease funding either causes.
