:02:01. > :02:13.Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports.
:02:14. > :02:19.The NHS in England is facing financial pressures like never
:02:20. > :02:24.before. The National Audit Office describes how increasing numbers of
:02:25. > :02:28.NHS trusts are running up debts and needing emergency cash bailouts.
:02:29. > :02:32.That cannot continue. We don't think the situation is sustainable, a
:02:33. > :02:36.doubling in the deficits among hospitals and increasing reliance on
:02:37. > :02:40.emergency cash, bailouts, that is not something that can be allowed to
:02:41. > :02:45.continue. Auditors have tracked a sharp deterioration in the five
:02:46. > :02:51.Raqqa kill finances of the NHS. The deficit last year was almost ?850
:02:52. > :02:56.million. This is set to reach more than ?2 billion this year. The
:02:57. > :03:02.number of loss-making organisations has beamed up to 181. The NHS say
:03:03. > :03:06.that pressures on the health service from an ageing population with more
:03:07. > :03:10.long-term illnesses cannot be addressed in isolation. If you look
:03:11. > :03:13.at what happens in a service and where the pressure comes from, it is
:03:14. > :03:17.often from older people who have become frail and aren't getting the
:03:18. > :03:22.support they need. They become more ill and end up in hospital. We know
:03:23. > :03:27.social care funding is not going up as quickly as NHS funding,
:03:28. > :03:31.especially next year, that must be addressed to help the NHS succeed.
:03:32. > :03:36.The government has promised trusts in England and extra cash injection
:03:37. > :03:40.of almost ?4 billion, but economists say that big changes are needed if
:03:41. > :03:45.the long-term financial situation is to improve. The state of NHS
:03:46. > :03:52.finances can only be described as dire. There are two problems, the
:03:53. > :03:55.failure to recruit and retain staff, and problems improving productivity
:03:56. > :03:58.at the rate needed. For both of those problems, the NHS needs a
:03:59. > :04:01.radically different approach. Ministers say that they are
:04:02. > :04:05.committed to the health service and extra cash will make a difference,
:04:06. > :04:07.but hospitals must get a grip on their finances.
:04:08. > :04:12.Health spending is very contentious - it came up in the last hour

:04:40. > :04:44.but the National Audit Office report on the state of NHS finances makes
:04:45. > :04:47.sobering reading. The report on the finances of England suggests there
:04:48. > :04:51.has been a deterioration which is severe and worse than expected, and
:04:52. > :04:56.efficiency plans, put in place by different health trusts, are
:04:57. > :05:01.unsustainable in some cases. I think the most worrying aspect of it is
:05:02. > :05:05.that it questions the ?22 billion of efficiency savings, the government
:05:06. > :05:10.and NHS England says it is achievable by the year 2020. ?22
:05:11. > :05:14.billion annually, and the National Audit Office, that auditors of the
:05:15. > :05:21.nation 's finances, so that they do not think it is achievable, not
:05:22. > :05:24.enough detail has been provided. The government has come up with more
:05:25. > :05:29.details today about next year 's finances? As PMQ 's was underway,
:05:30. > :05:37.the Department of Health announced ?1.8 billion next year, that will be
:05:38. > :05:42.put into "Helping hospitals get back on their feet". That comes out of
:05:43. > :05:45.the ?3.8 billion of extra money announced by the Chancellor in the
:05:46. > :05:50.spending review. The government say it is not a bailout but designed to
:05:51. > :05:53.help transform services, but if you are using nearly half of your new
:05:54. > :05:56.money to help hospitals keep going, that does not leave a lot of money
:05:57. > :06:00.for other services. Thank you. UK unemployment has fallen
:06:01. > :06:02.to nearly a 10-year low. Official figures show the jobless

:06:48. > :06:52.is really encouraging, there are so many jobs out there, you just have
:06:53. > :06:57.to go and get them. The tables have turned. We have recruiters calling
:06:58. > :07:02.us. Do you want to come for interviews? We've been invited to a
:07:03. > :07:04.lot of interviews. They are getting better. There are more opportunities
:07:05. > :07:09.out there, big companies are expanding. They are always looking
:07:10. > :07:14.for new people. The rate of unemployment is down to 5.2%, the
:07:15. > :07:20.lowest since 2006. That is partly because the number of people working
:07:21. > :07:26.brace to 31.3 million. But, earnings rose by just 2.0%. The smallest
:07:27. > :07:30.average pay rise for months. What is odd about those numbers is that they
:07:31. > :07:34.go against the theory the Bank of England has had for 18 months.
:07:35. > :07:39.Namely, if an implement gets low enough, wages will begin to rise
:07:40. > :07:43.faster, pushing up prices as well. That is exactly what is not
:07:44. > :07:48.happening. When you get down to these levels of unemployment, 5.2%,
:07:49. > :07:53.you would expect wages to be really going higher. We've added another
:07:54. > :07:57.half a million people to the workforce, so I think there seems to
:07:58. > :08:02.be plenty of supply of people, and that is probably one of the reasons
:08:03. > :08:06.that wages are staying so low. Two years ago, the Bank of England
:08:07. > :08:11.Governor Mark Carney indicated 7% unemployment was a danger mark.
:08:12. > :08:14.Below that, you need to look out for signs of inflation. Now, with an
:08:15. > :08:17.implement at just 5.2%, there is little sign it is pushing up wages
:08:18. > :08:21.or prices. Andy Verity, BBC News. The care of people at the end

:09:02. > :09:05.it became seen as a tech box exercise, it blanket approach that
:09:06. > :09:08.did not meet the needs of individuals. The new guideline
:09:09. > :09:13.emphasises communication with the person who is dying and their family
:09:14. > :09:16.and friends, and between clinicians, to establish the patient's needs and
:09:17. > :09:21.wishes. Care should be reviewed at least once a day, and if there is
:09:22. > :09:25.any doubt, staff should turn to more experienced colleagues for advice.
:09:26. > :09:31.NICE says more support is needed. It is important that they should have

:10:05. > :10:08.members, approach the end of life. But the devil is always in the
