Health Foundation says government must spend up to £86.4bn more on services to maintain standards
The NHS and social care services in England will need more than 1.1 million extra staff over the next decade to keep up with growing demand, research suggests.
The huge expansion in both workforces would mean those in need get the care they require and ensure that standards of health treatment do not drop. But boosting staff numbers so dramatically would require the government to put up to £86.4bn more into the services, according to the Health Foundation thinktank.
