Researchers have issued a warning about the health of people in Greece in the wake of the financial crisis.

Writing in The Lancet, they said cuts to hospitals' budgets meant they were being overstretched.

More people were reporting "bad health" and HIV infections were on the increase, the authors warned.

While public health experts said the picture was "concerning" they said it could take several years for the true health implications to fully emerge.
