Vision to action: the NHS 10-Year Plan

We are optimistic about the plan

We have been struck by the positive drive for change. To recreate, not patch up, the NHS so that it is fit for the future as a world leader in health and wellbeing. To build on its founding principles, not be held back by them.

We have also been impressed by the openness to speak to and start with the views of people who draw on the NHS. The willingness to devolve power and look beyond the NHS for solutions will transform the way people are able to access services and support, ensuring people have greater agency in their health, wellbeing and care.

We would have liked to have seen more about social care in the plan. But we remain optimistic that the pathways to align the findings of the Casey Review have been considered and hopeful that this important connectively will happen as the plan unfolds.

The proof will be in the pudding...
