The Department of Health and Social Care has released its new 10-Year Health Plan for England, outlining how the NHS will be reshaped over the next decade to improve patient care, reduce waiting times, and address long-standing workforce and service pressures.
Titled Fit for the Future, the plan sets out three central goals:
The Government says the plan is based on extensive public engagement and aims to make the NHS more responsive, sustainable, and equitable — ensuring everyone can access the care they need regardless of income or location. It also includes commitments to improve hospital care, invest in NHS workforce development, and lead on medical research and innovation.
The RSN welcomes views from our members on what the proposals mean for rural health and care provision in their areas.
