As Today has been about public spending cuts, the Conservative Party has shown how the Labour Party will cut the NHS Budget. The Conservative Party states the following on Labour Plan:
Buried in Government reports, we have uncovered secret plans that could lead to cuts of almost £5 billion in total in the NHS budget.
More than half of hospitals are planning to cut the number of doctors they employ. We have uncovered plans for a net cut of 650 doctors in England.
More than half of hospitals are planning to cut the number of nurses they employ. We have uncovered plans for a net cut of more than 2,000 nurses in England.
NHS West Midlands – the only area to provide regional figures – is on its own planning to cut almost 1,000 nurses.
Three in five hospitals are planning bed cuts. We have uncovered plans for net bed cuts of 1,500 in England.
We have also obtained a copy of the workforce plan of one trust, which shows a four per cent cut in the number of consultants and a ten per cent cut in the number of nurses and midwives.
The Conservative Party will protect the NHS.
