The NHS needs £50bn more by 2030 in England, a former health minister and leading surgeon says.
The prediction, by Labour's Lord Darzi, comes after Prime Minister Theresa May said the government planned to devise a long-term funding plan for the health service.
There is speculation this will be unveiled during the 70th anniversary of the creation of the NHS in July.
Lord Darzi's report has been supported by both Tory and Lib Dem politicians.
It said the extra funding was in line with what the NHS had traditionally received - just under 4% extra a year.
The analysis said this was needed to help cope with the ageing population, advances in technology and inflation.
