NHS cost-cutting 'being put ahead of patient care'
Vulnerable people are at risk of receiving "poor or unsafe care" as pressures on care services take their toll, according to a new report.

Pressure on the care system is having an impact on the respect that patients are receiving in some areas, according to the State of Care report.
