The Ten-Year Health Plan
Shortly after the election, the new government announced its intention to develop a ten-year plan for the NHS England. The plan was published on 4 July and focuses on delivering three big shifts in healthcare:
- hospital to community
- analogue to digital
- sickness to prevention.
Working on members' behalf
We worked closely with colleagues in the Department for Health and Social Care and NHS England to support the development of the plan. Our aim has been to ensure that the plan is realistic, accurately reflects our members' roles in delivering change and represents the changes needed to achieve an integrated model of care.
We did this through our regular member engagements, private meetings with senior officials leading the development of the plan and through the ten-year health plan working groups, which we and many of our members were asked to take part in.
We submitted a response to the ChangeUK online portal.
