NHS reforms: 'We need to look at the big picture'

A report by the NHS Confederation, Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and National Voices makes the case for investing in community services to help people manage their health.

It said this meant investing less in hospitals to allow the NHS to thrive.

But it said to date the service had failed in its attempts to change.

Jules Acton is from National Voices which represents health and social care charities in England and is one of the groups that helped write the report.

She told BBC Breakfast that shutting hospitals is only a suitable option if they are replaced with more appropriate community services.
