Health Services and Social Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to include policies on prevention in the proposed ten-year plan for health and social care.
Answered by Karin Smyth
As part of the Government’s five long-term missions, we will launch a 10-Year Health Plan to reform the National Health Service and make it fit for the future. The plan will set out a bold agenda to deliver on the three big shifts needed: moving healthcare from hospital to the community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention.
A core part of the development of the 10-Year Health Plan, including its approach to prevention, will be an extensive engagement exercise with the public, staff, and stakeholders, including the third sector. Further details on how to get involved will be set out in the coming weeks.
