NHS Confederation - NAO report is latest in long list 'lamenting' state of health and care
Niall Dickson, chief executive of the NHS Confederation which represents organisations across the healthcare system, commented on the NAO report on sustainability and transformation in the NHS
“The NAO has added to a long line of reports lamenting the state of health and care.
“We have passed the point in which politicians needed to be honest with the public about what faces us now and what will face us in the future.
“There is an urgent need to deal with the short-term crisis in the system but also to address the challenge we face over the next decade.
“That is why we are working with the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the Health Foundation – to conduct a comprehensive study into the funding needs of the UK’s health and care systems.
"We hope this will lead to a more informed debate among politicians and the wider public about what is needed.”
