Public Eye

on BBC Two England

Charity and the NHS - an Unhealthy Dependency? A leading hospital for the mentally ill has been told to raise E300,000 towards its running costs or face closure. The ultimatum comes as a general hospital in Worthing launches a charity to try to cut its waiting list. Public Eye shows this is part of a growing trend of increasing reliance by hospitals on charitable giving, not for special projects but for everyday running costs.
Does this solve the current cash crisis or undermine the principles on which the National Health Service was founded - to provide equal health care for all?
