NHS Budget plan not enough, say bosses

NHS Budget plan not enough, say bosses The extra money announced by the chancellor in the Budget for the NHS in England is not enough, health service bosses say.

Philip Hammond announced an immediate £350m boost for this winter followed by £1.6bn more next year for the front line above the rise already planned.

The chancellor described it as an "exceptional" measure, which recognised the pressures the service was under.

But NHS leaders have already warned waiting times will continue to worsen. BBC News
