Given that neither she nor I have spoken in favour of these mythical cuts of yours, are you disputing her point about demand or not?
Tories aren't going to come out and say let's cut the NHS, they are far too cowardly to do it themselves, the following model is used
To much fanfare central government says they are giving power to local authorities to spend money on a thing, whether that be local government, CCG in the case of the NHS, or police etc.
Central government sets funding, but at a level that can't pay for everything. And before you carry on treating people like idiots funding has gone up but under the cost of inflation, so it's a cut.
These local bodies find they are responsible for implementing this service but haven't got the money to pay for it properly, so they make cuts.
When people complain to Westminster they turn around and say 'we are not in charge, it's the local bodies fault, we give them plenty of money, look at that Romanian over there'
Old people continue to vote Tory, as in their minds, on the balance of all probabilities, yes, it is Romanians fault
