General election
The NHS regularly ranks among priority issues facing people across the country and will likely feature heavily in public debate in the run up to the general election.
Despite the NHS remaining one of the most valued institutions in the UK, a decade of underinvestment, an unprecedented pandemic and rising demand from patients have left health and care services under extreme pressure. A new government will need to tackle this challenge decisively to put the NHS on sustainable footing and ensure that people can get the care and treatment they need.
This section brings together our commentary, research and resources on what the health and care system needs, both now and in the future. It is intended to inform public and political debate on how to build the nation's health.
