THOUSANDS of lives could be saved and improved each year by a reorganisation of the NHS, health bosses claim, following a meeting last week in Bolton.
Healthier Together ? the organisation that is carrying out a review of healthcare in Greater Manchester ? published its ?visioning? document, outlining its plans, last Thursday.
It states that the current hospital system is ?designed for the needs of the last century? and is ?struggling to cope? with demands and needs to be changed.
It also says financial pressures and cuts in spending mean change is necessary in the health system.
Each year 550 lives could be saved in Greater Manchester by raising standards to meet the European average for cancer survival rates, the team behind Healthier Together claim.
