Health experts have warned against cuts to public health funding and social care as Chancellor George Osborne announced a £3.8bn cash injection for the NHS.
The funding boost for frontline NHS services in England has been welcomed but critics are concerned it may lead to cuts to services that support the health service such as social care.
Chancellor George Osborne has said he will set out his plans for social care services and the NHS in his Autumn Speech on Wednesday.
It comes as Mr Osborne announced he was fast-tracking £3.8bn of funding to NHS frontline services.
Health experts have welcomed the cash injection but raised concerns some of the money may come at the expense of services that support the NHS such as social care.
Mr Osborne has admitted that savings will need to be made elsewhere in Government to pay for the NHS funding.
