A new report from The King’s Fund has called for fundamental changes in ‘how health services are commissioned, paid for and regulated to deliver the vision set out in the NHS five year forward view’. The Forward View, published in October 2014, set out how NHS services will need to change in future. It has been endorsed by all 3 main political parties and will set the agenda for NHS reform in the next parliament. The report argues that dealing with growing financial & service pressures could crowd out the time & space needed to implement long-term changes to NHS services. |
