earlier, the chief executive of nhs england, simon stevens, spoke about the aims of the plan. king the 70th anniversary of the nhs and people in this country are incredibly proud of it and that is mainly because of the brilliant work of our staff, nurses and doctors and therapists. but it is also a lot of pressure a cross therapists. but it is also a lot of pressure across the nhs, an ageing population and medical advantages the leg advances and others played on the possibility that services will continue to improve. we are setting out what that phrase improvement will look like over the next ten years based on what we have done with patients groups, charities and front line staff to say what some of the practical changes can bring about. let's talk to our health correspondent sophie hutchinson, she's at chelsea and westminster hospital in london for us. year they have been using some of the new money to put in place some services that are transforming things, doing things in different ways. joining me is the clinical director of acute services gary davis. what is it you have s

but i think it boils down to two things, how is the nhs in england going to spend the nhs in england his ten year plan. i think it is worth adding also that the devolved regions and nations, wales, scotland and northern ireland, get about an extra £4 billion a year between them by 2023 as well, so it will be up to them as well to come up with their own forward plans for the next ten yea rs own forward plans for the next ten years for their own systems.” own forward plans for the next ten years for their own systems. i know we are getting plenty of comments about that story this morning. we will be putting some of those and speaking with the shadow health secretary at about half past eight this morning. a man will appear before magistrates charged with murder this morning after a father was stabbed to death in front of his son on a train. our reporter keith doyle is outside staines magistrates' court for us this morning. what happens today? yes, good morning. last friday 51—year—old lee pomeroy was travelling to london with his 14—year—old son from guildford. british transport police s

but i think it boils down to two things, how is the nhs in england going to spend the extra money it , the £20.5 billion that it will have extra by 2023? and secondly, how does the nhs future—proof itself and learn to cope with this growing and ageing population, which underpins many of the issues the nhs is facing at the moment? hospitals are struggling to have enough beds for patients, a&es very busy, all those issues we talk about so often. so it is those two elements i think which really sum up this ten—year plan. many people have welcomed the ambitions laid out in this 10—year plan but they point out that meeting the ambitions will be extremely challenging, as so many hospitals are struggling to balance the books, a&es already very be easy, the nhs is struggling to cope with the demand right now. and also there is the big unanswered question about the big unanswered question about the future of social care. so, many questions still to be answered, many people say meeting the ambitions will be extremely tough to level i'm joined now by helen mckenna, senior policy adviser at the k

let's get more on the long—term plan for the nhs in england which is being launched tomorrow. estment isn't enough to solve the issue of staff shortages. earlier i asked the health secretary matt hancock if labour was right. too right we're going to need more people. when you put £20 billion extra into a public service, as we are proposing to do with the nhs, of course, a lot of that is going to go on more people. and anyway, you know, as our society ages and gets older, and as people get wealthier over time, you need more people caring for others and more people engaged in health care. yes, absolutely, we need more people. there are shortages at the moment, there are vacancies. not quite the scale that you described, because there are lots of people that can fill those posts and do that through flexible working. but how are you going to get more people in the nhs? are you going to pay them more? how are you going to attract more staff? well, we are going to recruit more, we are going to train more. also, we are going to... there is a whole section, a whole chapter of the plan

according to the royal college of nursing, the nhs in england is short of more than 40,000 nurses.ary matt hancock how this will be addressed. well, we are going to recruit more, we are going to train more. also, we are going to... there is a whole section, a whole chapter of the plan that is about how we can recruit and also retain the brilliant staff that we have got. the big picture of this plan is to get with that big increase in funding more spending on to prevention and supporting people to stay healthy in the first place, rather than just focusing on cures. that is the big idea behind the plan. it is the direction that we need to go. yes, it will mean more people in different places. you say you are going to recruit... sorry, you said you're going to recruit more. but when it comes to nurses, the problem is that the number of people applying to study nursing has just dropped massively and that is partly because you have cut the bursaries. well, there's still more people applying than we have places for, and we are going to expand those places, so there is, there is still peo
