Politicians need to be braver when it comes to putting the case for change in the NHS, particularly over the closure of services, health leaders say.
Mike Farrar, of the NHS Confederation, which represents managers, said there had been a "chronic failure" so far.
He said politicians had been putting short-term electoral interests first.
And he warned if the issue was not addressed the health service could find itself in real financial difficulty and patients would suffer as a result.
