A joint Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England team has been established to deliver a 10 Year Health Plan. This plan will be published in Spring 2025. The plan will set out how to deliver an NHS fit for the future, creating a truly modern health service designed to meet the changing needs of a changing population. The plan will be co-developed with the public, staff and patients through a thorough and detailed engagement exercise starting from Monday 21 October 2024.
NHS staff are facing an unprecedented number of challenges - record demand for care, growing pressures from an ageing population, rising levels of multiple long-term illnesses and patients with more complex needs. So, it is vital the health service innovates and adapts – as it has always done throughout its 76 year history – to design and deliver an NHS fit for the future.
The 10 Year Health Plan is a chance to do just that – it will make the best practice, normal practice across England.
Alongside the Government, NHS England will be carrying out the largest ever engagement exercise in NHS history. The aim is to harness frontline workers views, alongside those of patients and the public.
