NHS trusts have been asked to make extreme cuts as the service deals with a predicted deficiency of almost ₤ 7 billion, health leaders cautioned today.

In a study for NHS Providers, 47 percent of trust leaders warned they are rolling back services to stabilize the books, while another 43 percent are considering doing so.

Rehabilitation centres, talking therapies and diabetes services for youths are amongst services at danger.

Eighty-six per cent of participants said their organisation is needing to cut tasks in non-clinical teams, while 37 per cent plan to cut clinical posts.

A variety of trusts are intending to cut 500 tasks or more, with one preparation as many as 1,000.

NHS union Unison's head of health Helga Pile said: "Ministers should not be insisting trusts stabilize their books while neglecting the damaging repercussions for client care and a demoralised workforce.

"The NHS requires more staff - not less workers - if delays and waits for are to end."

It comes as NHS primary executive Sir Jim Mackey informed a Medical Journalists Association event in London the service had "maxed out on what is budget-friendly."

He stated that the NHS was likely to have a ₤ 6.6 bn deficit this year, despite a spending plan of around ₤ 200bn.

Though he has demanded unprecedented savings, he knocked the "normalisation" of bad care, saying that, 10 years ago, "we would have never ever accepted old women being on corridors next to an [A&E] department for hours on end."

We Own It creator and director Cat Hobbs said: "Back in 2012, the NHS was ranked as the finest health care service in the world.

"That was before the legislation that deliberately opened our entire NHS to profiteering.

"Sir Jim Mackey is definitely ideal to state that patients being dealt with in passages and parking area is inappropriate. If he desires to stop this scandal while saving money, he needs to end privatisation as quickly as possible.
