Health Services and Social Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to reform NHS health and social care services.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Lord Darzi's report made clear the NHS suffered from a failure to reform over the last 15 years. This government will deliver this reform with investment to turn services around.
Reform is at the heart of our health mission and will be delivered by the upcoming 10 Year Plan for Health – delivering on the three shifts needed to move healthcare from hospital to the community, analogue to digital, sickness to prevention.
We are also committed to building consensus on the long-term reform needed to create a National Care Service.
