They face a formidable task. Whilst they have a protected budget, the demands are increasing and to meet the costs of elderly health care and technology advances they have to ensure the NHS finds savings of £20Bn over the next parliament. We think this is possible as the NHS has been cash rich and although this has allowed for some clinical and capital investment, it has in itself as encouraged profligacy. Already Andrew Lansley is asking more of GPs, recognising their last contract was a salary bonanza for many. Pay freezes for others will also help bridge the gap. We wait for further announcements….!
