NHS Confederation responds to HFMA briefing about NHS finances
Paul Healy, Senior Policy Advisor on Economics and Regulation, NHS Confederation, responded to the Healthcare Financial Management Association’s temperature check briefing, published on 18th November 2015
"This is the latest message from the NHS to the Chancellor about the huge risk if we don't see the £8 billion additional funding for health up-front in the next two years.
“We, along with a coalition of organisations, has spoken with one voice about the urgent need for money to be delivered upfront in the upcoming spending review. We need this so that the health service can invest in the transformation of patient care in line with the government's vision.
“Even with £8 billion of investment, it is undeniable that the NHS faces a huge challenge finding the required efficiency savings. The only chance the service has of meeting these efficiency savings is if we have certainty and clarity of funding from the Government in the upcoming spending review.”
