5 point plan for properly funding the NHS:

Lessen the pressure for unrealistic efficiency savings, which are causing problems for patients and cuts to services.

Set out a long term settlement for the NHS - a commitment of public funding, that will improve planning and give it confidence for the future.

Invest in NHS staff who are the heart of the NHS – through safer staffing levels, pay, training and recruitment and retention.

Spend public funds wisely, restore the benefits of a collaborative NHS and limit the waste of PFI and marketization.

Give the NHS an urgent funding boost, to bridge the £30bn funding gap before 2020/1.
