NHS financial pressures are having a widespread but often unseen impact on patient care NHS financial pressures are increasingly affecting patient care, often in ways that go unseen, according to a new report by The King’s Fund.
Understanding NHS financial pressures finds that access to and quality of care are both being affected in different ways across the NHS. While public attention tends to focus on high-profile examples of rationing such as restricting access to some types of treatment, the report authors warn that financial and other pressures are also affecting patient care in ways that often go 'under the radar'.
The authors looked in detail at four services – testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, district nursing, elective hip replacement and neonatal care – to explore the impact of financial pressures on patient care.
