Abstract
  • The UK government spends £150 billion every year on health. This includes day-to-day funding for frontline NHS services, in addition to capital investments, staff training and public health activities. Even after taking account of inflation, this spending is twice what we spent less than 20 years ago at the start of the 2000s. But might the NHS still require more funding and, if it does, how could we find more money?
  • To mark the BBC's coverage of the NHS's 70th birthday in July 2018, The King's Fund, the Health Foundation, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Nuffield Trust have been asked by the BBC to look at five key topics, covering the relative strengths and weaknesses of the health service, the state of social care, NHS funding, the public’s expectations of the NHS and the potential of technology to change things in future. This project and the reports we are producing are intended to inform the national conversation about the past, present and future of the NHS.
