Inflation and demographic changes will mean the NHS gets just £800m to improve services over the next two years, new analysis shows.
John Appleby, chief economist at the Nuffield Trust, said that the final amount"could be higher or lower", depending on whether trusts overspend and whether certain key costs, like nurses' pay, increase faster than expected.Advertisement
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust confirmed to Sky News that it expects its annual energy bills to more than triple in 2023, adding £24m to its running costs. "What it won't do is address the fundamental issues and get the NHS to where the public would like it to be." "You always have to prioritise emergency and urgent care. That might mean less focus on goals like improving productivity or investing in preventative care. We're already seeing a pull back at the NHS England-level on some of the funding for transformation efforts, for example around digital technology and data usage."
