NHS boss admits hospitals now need MORE beds The boss of the NHS has admitted the health service went over the top with bed closures and needs to start opening them again.
Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, suggested at a conference that the policy had had disastrous results.
He said the remaining beds are now 'overly pressurised' and more should be made available to ease hospitals' workloads.
There were around 130,000 hospital beds available in March last year, compared to 144,000 in 2010. The Daily Mail
