NHS Long Term Plan

As medicine advances, health needs change and society develops, so the NHS has to continually move forward so that in 10 years’ time we have a service fit for the future.

It will give everyone the best start in life; deliver world-class care for major health problems, such as cancer and heart disease, and help people age well.
