The government has launched a public consultation asking members of the public, NHS staff and experts to share their experiences and ideas to help fix our NHS. This week’s budget and spending review will set the parameters for how fast and thorough those reforms will be.
All indications appear to suggest that these much-anticipated reforms are still a way off. NHS funding agreed with Chancellor Rachel Reeves and set to be unveiled on Wednesday won’t be available until next April. Only then will we start to see any real progress on the government’s commitment to transform the NHS. It doesn’t take an expert to know this won’t happen overnight.
For those of us working in or supporting the NHS wider public sector organisations in health, housing and social care the need for a shift to a more preventative person-centred model of care seems obvious especially in the community. Why the continued talking and consultation? Shouldn’t we just get on with it?
We know what needs doing, we know where the pinch points are, we know what’s working and what isn’t. Staff, policy makers and suppliers like us have highlighted countless times where improvements could be made and where investment would make the most difference.
While it’s only right that we make sure that funding goes to the right places and is spent in the right way, it’s vital that Whitehall maintain the momentum, so that changes can be implemented, and investment made as quickly as possible. There are steps they can take now, not least in helping to unlock the potential of technology enabled care.
We’re doing all we can at Everon UK to positively influence the health, housing and social care environment to be more proactive in their approach. This is vital if we are to reduce pressures on the NHS and wider public sector and give greater re-assurance to people receiving care and their families.
