On this episode we discuss why so many systems are behind on their budget plans. We also cover other financial woes facing the NHS including tighter government controls on spending and the pressures of inflation.

Also this week we discuss revelations that patients face being removed from the NHS waiting list if they decline two dates offered to them for their treatment, with experts warning that if used poorly it could see patients “banished to waiting list purgatory”. 

Featuring Henry Anderson, Annabelle Collins and James Illman.
