It seems as if NHS is more focused to make its financial front flourish over patient care, which ethically should be the utmost priority. As the nurses' union reported that in order to save for tougher times, much of the jobs and funding will be sliced by NHS. As per the union's predictions, no savings can be made without cutting jobs and if jobs are shed, it is going to pose a serious threat to the patient care services in and around the areas where job cut will be implemented.

For making the picture more magnified, a survey was conducted for testing the level of understanding that the general public possess about the NHS savings and the services that will be affected. 5,600 jobs across 26 healthcare trusts are feared to be shed and therefore this implies that 40,000 jobs will be cut in total.

According to Kate Tompkins, who is South West Regional Director at the Royal College of Nursing, the survey evidently said that 94% of the regional public people were not aware about the amount of savings the service will be making. Only 7% were able to recall exact figure of £20 billion in savings that NHS will have to make from its budget for England.

It is known that this savings NHS will have to achieve by next three years. Most of the people are of an opinion that the cuts will from one way or other affect the patient care.

It can therefore be said that however the decision of saving money is acceptable, as in the current scenario, economy is not that stable, but the public opinion reflects evidently that financial make up of NHS is not more important than the patient care.
