in the here and now there are real pressures . in the here and now there are real pressures. 0ver in the here and now there are real pressures. over the next three yea rs, pressures. over the next three years, ourfunding pressures. over the next three years, our funding will pressures. over the next three years, ourfunding will be highly constrained. in 2018/19, realterms, nhs spending per person in england will go town. ten years after lehman brothers and us a sisterity began. we understand why that is, but let's not pretend that's not placing huge pressure on the service. i can now speak to labour mp frank field who is one of a cross—party of 20 mps calling for an nhs "convention". mr field, good to see you. thank you for joining mr field, good to see you. thank you forjoining us. explain what you mean by convention. what would that entail? the background to this is all—parties find it difficult to reform the nhs. they are fearful their opponents will be able to stab them in the back. what we're trying to do is lay the basis for a cross— party to do is lay the basis for a cross—party alliance which clearly

will centre on, it won't be the only issue, will will centre on the nhs having more money and where it comes from. governments don't have money. we taxpayers have money. it is a question of where that money will be raised. that's the basis of today's debate. the fact that this is a national service that so many millions of people use has become so split politicised has to be a cause of concern? it is of concern. particularly when i published a letter, e—mailfrom particularly when i published a letter, e—mail from a particularly when i published a letter, e—mailfrom a nurse who particularly when i published a letter, e—mail from a nurse who said earlier this week she cried before going into work. she didn't know what she'd find there. patients shoutin what she'd find there. patients shout in herface what she'd find there. patients shout in her face for answers to questions she cannot give because she's a nurse. she fears for them, for theirfamilies. she she's a nurse. she fears for them, for their families. she fears for her colleagues. it is a wonderful

team, she stresses but raises the question about how long can teams in a&e where she works, wants to work, can go on like this. nobody wants to blame theresa may for the position we're in. we are in the position we are in. if more money's got to be found it needs to be found from us taxpayers. i believe the best way of doing this would be an increase in national insurance contributions which wouldn't allow the treasury to spend it on something else but would all go to health and,s awe stressed, to social care. and we'd also lay the basis for long—term reform whereby increasingly the nhs and social care would be paid through an insurance system and one which we as taxpayers would have people who would be in charge of that for us but will not only have the job of seeing government does pay over the

money they are taking in insurance contributions but start to educate us on contributions but start to educate us on what it will cost to maintain this health service not at the level now. people come on your programme, they start saying we have the best health service in the world. i wish that were true. it is just totally untrue. what it means now to maintain existing services and then, if we really want to aim for a world —class if we really want to aim for a world—class service again, what sort of sums we'd need to make each month in our contributions. do you think the public would be receptive to that idea of paying a little more on national insurance in order to provide the kind of health cover they could well need to the future? when gordon brown last increased it by putting 1. 0n, he was amazed he became one of the most popular people in the country. he was fea rful people in the country. he was fearful what the results of that action was going to be.
