Ed Miliband has been warned he could become the Labour Prime Minister who lets the NHS descend into “total crisis”, if he does not introduce “significant, immediate injections of extra funding” for the health service.
In a letter delivered to Mr Miliband on the eve of the Labour Party conference, which opens today, doctors leading the National Health Action Party (NHA) urged a temporary rise in income tax to plug the NHS’s growing funding gap.
Figures released at the end of last week revealed that the NHS has worked up a £500m deficit in the first three months of this financial year. Two-thirds of hospitals are in the red, squeezed by pressure to recruit extra staff to cope with unprecedented patient demand.
