nhs woes, we had the nhs on the papers this morning, and tomorrow morning as well. what are we talking about? a free lunch, everybody wants to know how you fix the nhs. somebody is offering without spending any addition to the £120 billion budget that the nhs has, the medical director of acute ca re has, the medical director of acute care in the nhs says that part of the problem is bed blocking, surgeons cannot do the operations they want to because they do not have these beds spat. he is calling for innovative thinking about how the nhs can use the resources they have,in the nhs can use the resources they have, in the past people cannot move out of hospital because they do not have ca re places out of hospital because they do not have care places to go to all care in their homes. he says that surgeons could be part of the solution, thinking how they can free up solution, thinking how they can free up beds and get operations happening so the nhs can save some money. what is he saying, to turf out the patients? is talking about surgeons kicking their heels waiting fo

she's absolutely passionate about the nhs and she wants the nhs to have a multi—year settlement. shows that they do recognise that through the tax system we will end up having to contribute more, and there's a willingness to do that providing they can see the money going to the nhs and providing they can see that it's not being wasted. an independent verdict shows what those costs might be. next year's spending already is set at £154 billion. to keep up, the verdict is the nhs will need an extra 3.3% every year, a huge £95 billion over 15 years. but for the service to improve, the price tag is at least 4% extra each year, £124 billion more over that time. that's a hypothetical extra £2000 in tax for every household. so if evidence piles up that the nhs needs more cash, surely it's simple? they have to act. but writing big cheques with taxpayers' money is anything but. the prime minister has already made a big promise — to find more money for the nhs and to guarantee it for a decent length of time. but ministers are a long way from agreeing how much, for how long, and how to pay.

nhs. £1200 a year if you knew it was going on the nhs? going on the nhs?go of. and another anonymous tax. anonymous tax. why should people pay more tax towards the nhs? more tax towards the nhs? the money taken out of their payments. payments. after tax dodging celebrities to pay it. it. we didn't have a free health service. service. the tax is a full price to pay in the long run. pay in the long run. your thoughts are welcome. now some sport. in the opening match of a two test series today. series today. the dolls will be in half an hour. half an hour. dom bess bowling for the first time today. today. spinner to do so in 87 years butjoe root says he is ready. root says he is ready. the game and how he will approach this week. this week. is really exciting for me as captain. captain. all you want to do is get given your cap and get out there. given your cap and get out there. has approached this week really well. well. start to what will hopefully be a good and long career. good and long career. journey to kiev for the champion league final against real ma

we have heard from nhs providers, a 3% settlement for the nhs would allow it to stand still.ts having to wait longer for care. we think that funding has to rise by at least 4% a year if we are going to see the nhs both deliver services in a&e department and the routine surgery we expect, but also transform how these services are delivered in the future. ultimately you get what you pay for and if we are not willing to pay 4% a year, we will see what we see at the moment in terms of pressure. anything less than 4%, are we looking at a very difficult health service, cuts to services? i think cuts to services are something people would not want to consider but ultimately you would be forced into that. but that is the choice, isn‘t it? be forced into that. but that is the choice, isn't it? that is one of the choices. people talk about rationing health care, we are seeing a dilation of quality of health care at the moment, five to six years ago 96% of patients were being seen within four hours, now 85% at best being seen in that time. on a downward trajectory if we don‘t give the n

not just there to say how can we ensure that the nhs is the nhs that will deliver for people in the future. it's about sending and reforming to make sure patients get the right treatment. >> mr. speaker, not only in the a&e departments, it was also the worst month to cancel operations. there are 100,000 vacancies in the prime minister personally intervened to overload the health secretary and the home secretary when they asked for a relaxation of these else to work in our nhs. but it's not just the nhs for the government and and our services. they promised that no school would see a cut in its funding. last week he was invited to repeat that pledge and refused. i wonder why. will the prime minister not tell parents, teachers and students the truth that the school's budget has in fact been cut in real terms all over the country? >> the right honorable gentleman is wrong. we are ensuring there is more money available. where are ensuring that we are protecting the budget because we want to assure every child regardless of background get the education they need and the education to fulfill the

we have protected the nhs, we have improved the nhs services, we have put more funding into the nhs ands, that it is free at the point of delivery. that was mrs me. let's have a listen to jeremy corbyn on the nhs. this year is the 70th birthday of the national health service. i page a bit to all of its staff over those 70 years, but the nhs reaches this milestone with the worst a and he waits on record. the worst delays for cancer referrals on record. falling numbers of gps, falling numbers of nurses, and the longest funding squeeze we have ever seen. so, let's mull over the exchanges in pmqs, i am joined by some guests. where are the liberal democrats on the private sector? to think there should be a role for the private sector in the nhs? our view is patient focused. the car about the outcomes. it should be free at the point of use. we think there is possibly a place, but it needs to work for patience, and in places like oxygen for example, we have lost services to the private sector, the services have been worse. what is the point? i think it is happening because of cost pressures, r

so there's a real issue about the pressure that the nhs is under. to do something to put the nhs on a long—term sustainable footing. the prime minister says she's planning a new long—term strategy for nhs funding in england, and that is expected within weeks. hugh pym, bbc news. the ukrainian authorities have been heavily criticised after admitting that its security services faked the murder of a russian journalist — in order, they claimed, to save him from an assassination plot by russia. moscow said the world had been misled by propaganda. europe's security body, the 0sce, said it deplored ukraine's tactics. steve rosenberg is in moscow. what more is being said about this extraordinary situation, steve? what we have been seeing today is the russian state media using this fake murder in kiev to try to undermine the credibility of some of the many accusations that have been levelled against russia over the last few yea rs. against russia over the last few years. so, for example, the government newspaper today likened the story of arkady babchenko to

question is how much does the nhs needs and how do you find it?hose other pressures and the public purse, he was going to lose out, or is ita purse, he was going to lose out, or is it a matter of higher taxes for everyone? i am joined is it a matter of higher taxes for everyone? iam joined by is it a matter of higher taxes for everyone? i am joined by the former liberal democrat health minister. do you think the politics of the idea ofa you think the politics of the idea of a different kind of nhs is not being discussed, even amongst conservatives? the idea we may have to restrict some forms of treatment? i don't think it is credible for the government guide on that road. there are people in the conservative party wa nt are people in the conservative party want to change away from the nhs model, but there is no appetite for it, they won't get support for it. that reads us with this conundrum that the conservatives seem to be committed to sticking with the nhs model but aren't prepared to make the financial investment to make it viable and to deliv

ministers have promised a new long—term financial plan for the nhs, which is expected within weeks.. the figures covering hospital, and dealers, mental health, and other trusts in england show the finance is getting worse. the regulator nhs improvement in a surge in patient and had affected performance in key areas, including waiting times. more than 2600 patients were waiting longer than 12 months for nonurgent treatment in march, a 75% increase over the year. the regulator said hundreds of thousands more patience than the previous year had been to accident and emergency, but the nhs did not buckle under pressure. today's reports is that nhs trust in england have played for a total deficit of 496 million for the financial year, which ended in march, but the actual figure was 969, higher than the £791 million the previous year. some analysts argue the underlying position was even worse. there is a lot of windowdressing in today's figures, which are bad enough on the face of it, but they are flattered by very large amount of 1—off emergency funding, which will not be available in fut

they represent a slither of the overall nhs budget for drugs, but nonetheless some of the prices thator example, £3200 charged to the nhs by walgreens boots alliance for arthritis tablets which could be bought for as little as £1. £2600 for specialist sleeping pills also purchasable elsewhere, notably in pharmacists in the us, for about £1. the company which owns blues, walgreens, they are not denying the figures, but they are flatly denying the accusation that they are overcharging the nhs. they are stressing these are very specialist drugs and they are happy to engage with the competition and markets authority to whom they have now been referred, and are already in talks with the government about this issue. the nhs england budget is £112 billion, a lot of money, so these specific groups of drugs, specials as they are nicknamed, account for £30 million, which is a slither of the overall budget. however, the idea that such overcharging, though it has yet to be found by the cma, but the appearance of overcharging looks very bad and that is why the department of health referred walgree

in terms of nhs england. before it gets the money? does it need that carrot, or does it need to have the money in the system to make any change visible. we certainly need money in the system in order to make changes, it would be a mistake if the money did not come with strings attached. so that the money can be used effectively and efficiently, to make changes that people can identify with. improving outcomes for patients. thank you both very much indeed. george orwell is supposed to have said it best: "journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.
