I’m afraid there is no (winter) money
Manage episode 377698899 series 2576706
Rishi Sunak announced an impressive sounding sum of money last week, apparently to help the NHS cope with winter pressures.
But, as ever, what might sound like a lot of money is really just a drop in the ocean - and it turns out it will only be used to offset costs relating to strike disruption.
We discuss the precarious financial and operational position this leaves the health service in, and also dig into plans for a new outpatient strategy expected later this year.
With Henry Anderson, Annabelle Collins and James Illman.
