MPs take further evidence on health-related public expenditure

This is the second oral evidence session for its inquiry into how the financial squeeze will affect NHS and adult social care services
The Health Committee will today ask representatives of NHS organisations and local authorities about the likely impacts of the recent spending review settlement on service provision and efforts to improve efficiency and productivity.
