Looking at the NHS #workforce plan, the IFS thinks that in 12 years time it would mean that 1 in 11 #workers is employed by the #NHS; partly driven by the NHS' own assessment of rising needs & partly due to the likely unobtainable #productivity targets the plan uses to keep its numbers down (at the moment).
This will require a major rethink of how we fund the NHS; the Q. is whether our #politicians are up to the leadership required to get us to that point.
A healthy nation will not be cheap!
