NHS patients could be forced to pay for their bed and board in hospital unless there is a cash injection into health services after the next election, senior managers have warned.
The NHS Confederation, which represents managers, said that without major reforms and an increase in investment, hospitals would become “swamped” with patients -while swathes of the population could be left without a GP.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Rob Webster, the organisation’s chief executive, said that without urgent action, the NHS could end up “stripped right back to the basics” within the next parliament.
