NHS in ‘serious trouble,’ investigation finds
CAMPAIGNERS demanded an urgent shift from private to public in the NHS today after a major investigation found that the health service is in “serious trouble.”
Led by former health minister Lord Ara Darzi, the report highlighted austerity as one of the main reasons why the NHS is in a dire state.
It noted that spending grew at only 1 per cent in real terms in the 2010s, compared to a long term average of 3.4 per cent.
