Money must not be spent on just ?propping up? smaller hospitals according to the West Midlands? most senior health professional.
Dame Julie Moore, chief executive of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, said simply throwing more money at hospitals could make the problem worse, because it ?propped up? smaller institutions which were incapable of safely providing the services patients need.
