NHS trusts have actually been asked to make extreme cuts as the service deals with a forecasted shortage of nearly ₤ 7 billion, health leaders cautioned today.
In a study for NHS Providers, 47 per cent of trust leaders warned they are rolling back services to stabilize the books, while another 43 per cent are considering doing so.
Rehabilitation centres, talking treatments and diabetes services for youths are among services at danger.
Eighty-six percent of respondents said their organisation is having to cut tasks in non-clinical groups, while 37 percent plan to cut medical posts.
A number of trusts are to cut 500 jobs or more, with one planning as numerous as 1,000.
NHS union Unison's head of health Helga Pile said: "Ministers shouldn't be insisting trusts balance their books while neglecting the harmful effects for client care and a demoralised workforce.
"The NHS requires more personnel - not less workers - if hold-ups and awaits clients are to end."
It comes as NHS primary executive Sir Jim Mackey informed a Medical Journalists Association event in London the service had actually "maxed out on what is budget friendly."
He stated that the NHS was most likely to have a ₤ 6.6 bn deficit this year, in spite of a budget of around ₤ 200bn.
Though he has demanded unmatched cost savings, he slammed the "normalisation" of bad care, saying that, 10 years back, "we would have never accepted old women being on corridors next to an [A&E] department for hours on end."
We Own It creator and director Cat Hobbs stated: "Back in 2012, the NHS was rated as the best healthcare service on the planet.
"That was before the legislation that intentionally opened our entire NHS to profiteering.
"Sir Jim Mackey is dead-on to say that clients being treated in corridors and car parks is undesirable. If he wishes to stop this scandal while saving cash, he should end privatisation as quickly as possible.
