- "The medium-term outlook for health and social care is extremely challenging. Health is under real pressure with many Trusts operating a deficit and senior health and charity figures warning of a £30 billion funding gap in the health budget by the end of the decade (28 per cent of the budget). The estimated funding gap for adult social care over the same period is £4.3 billion (29 per cent of the budget). "
