From investing in mental health to keeping the NHS free at the point of delivery, healthcare leaders tell us what they want to see addressed
“The government should back the funding pledges of an additional £8bn by 2020/21 as a minimum and cover immediate shortfalls in funding for 2015/16. The new secretary of state should work to three main objectives for the NHS – maintain or improve quality, transform care for the future and achieve financial balance. Better quality care often results in lower cost, but quality of care should win out if trade-offs are to be made. The secretary of state should work constructively with frontline staff and managers rather than adversarially and commit to no administrative reorganisation.”
Dr Jennifer Dixon, chief executive, Health Foundation
