Warning that made the NHS that made the same mistakes that led to the scandal of mid -tabs, with the bosses being considered, cutting beds and closing hospitals.

NHS leaders are forced to cut hospital beds, close hospitals and even reduce the services for children and cancer patients, as a new study claimed.

In order to achieve the government's savings goals and reduce its deficit of £ 6.6 billion, the hospital leaders are now cutting patient care or rationing them.

A new study published on Sunday reveals the NHS leaders that they were forced to be regarded as not essential, including hospital beds, pediatric community services, community phlebotomy and support for psychological health of cancer patients.

Hospital leaders also claimed that they had to consolidate hospital beds for services such as stroke or intensive care beds.

The cuts arise in order to meet the requirements of the state savings, which the NHS leaders refer to as “eye witness” in order to reduce the 6.6 -millions -pound deficit for the NHS.

The government was warned that it could repeat the mistakes made as part of an earlier Labor government that led to the Mid Staffordshire scandal, in which between 400 and 1,200 patients from January 2005 to March 2009, estimated by the Midfordshire Hospitals Trust as a result of poor care.

A public examination of the scandal, led by Sir Robert Francis, showed in 2013 that the failures were partly a consequence of the focus of the trust in achieving financial balance.

The King's Fund reports after the waiting lists of the hospital in England rose to 7.42 treatments, 6.25 million patients for the first time in seven months in the end of March. This has increased of 7.40 million treatments and 6.24 million patients at the end of February.

In the meantime, the waiting lists for non -profit services in England rose from 1,077,514 in April 2024 to 1,090,356.

For the pediatric community services, a service that is reduced by managers, according to King's find, the waiting lists rose from 125,603 in March 2024 to 171,092 children who are waiting for pediatric community services.

The King's Fund report also says: “Managers also gave examples of non-core services that completely reduce or cut them off, such as the phlebotomy of the community or the community's paediatrics, patient safety and concentration on services that have most effects on clinical results, often emergency or specialist treatments.

“An example of a non-core service that is now considered” nice “was a clinical psychiatry to support people with cancer-a service that is of crucial importance for patient experience, but is not considered a core for clinical treatment.”

In the response to the report, the Royal College of Nursing General Secretary and Managing Director, Professor Nicola Ranger, said: “It is a horrific state in which trustworthy speaks about the cut of roles at the forefront and the closing of beds to achieve savings. Nursing staff are exposed.

“This problem begins with the government, and the ministers have to stop placing arbitrary financial goals from patient safety. This was done at mid -staff, and I fear that they could repeat the mistakes of the past.

“This report shows that there is no hope of providing the government's reforms, while the NHS is asked to shorten employees and services.”

As part of the journey, the hospital manager also informed the Think Tank that services that are now provided by private providers at a cheaper price than the NHS could be completely reduced if the suppliers cannot resume these services.

“They cut fat, muscles, bones and I think we are at the bone point for most services and clinicians,” a guide told The Think Tank.

The report states that the hospital manager must consider cutting hospital beds or locking services, although the United Kingdom has lower bed numbers compared to other countries with high incomes.

At the beginning of this month, a survey among NHS providers from NHS Trust Leaders revealed that Chiefs had already started reducing the clinical positions on the front to save money.

According to the King's Fund, to limit the providers of personnel costs, the recruitment of new employees will freeze, reduce overtime payments and restrict the use of banking and agency workers.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs said: “This government invested an additional £ 26 in the autumn budget to remedy the broken health system we inherited and make it suitable for the future.”

“With our change plan, we are determined to promote inefficiencies and productivity in the NHS.

“Investments have to be accompanied by the reform, and the foreign minister told the NHS that he should return to the basics – the number of national goals halved and the local managers have a clear instruction to concentrate on the things that are important for the patients.”
