In October 2024 the government launched Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future: a national conversation to develop the 10-Year Health Plan.

This follows the Lord Darzi published his independent review of the NHS, which was intended to start an open and honest conversation about the state of our health and service and the reforms needed. The review revealed the scale of the challenge faced by the NHS. The NHS is under rising pressure; diagnosing ill health too late and not doing enough to prevent it in the first place. It is too hard for people to get an appointment, hospitals are overcrowded, NHS workers are overstretched, and costs are escalating.

For decades, there has been broad consensus that to overcome the challenges facing the NHS, with a need to focus on providing more care in the community, so hospitals are able to treat the sickest patients, make better use of technology, and do more to prevent ill health.
