Most senior NHS managers are no longer confident they can make the ?20bn of savings needed to keep the health service in budget and able to pay for the growing cost of patient care.
An authoritative survey of NHS finance directors found that just one in 10 rated his or her chances of meeting the national savings target as better than 50/50. More than half identified a high or very high risk that the target would not be met, while nearly a third said patient care in their area had got worse over the past year ? compared to 14 per cent who said it had improved.
