What is the NHS Long Term Plan?

With growing pressure on the NHS – people living longer, more people living with long-term conditions, lifestyle choices affecting people’s health – changes are needed to make sure everybody gets the support they need.

The Government is investing an extra £20 billion a year in the NHS. The NHS has produced a ‘Long Term Plan’ setting out the things it wants health services to do better for people across the country.

This includes making it easier to access support closer to home and via technology, doing more to help people stay well, and providing better support for people with long-term health conditions.

Feedback from Local People

Whilst the national plan has set some clear goals, it’s up to local areas to decide how they’re achieved – that means engaging with local people and listening to their experiences and expectations of current and future services.

Hosting 18 events in April, May and June 2019, local Healthwatch organisations in Central and West London engaged with a total of 257 local people.

The reports are below.

Hosting three events in May 2019, Healthwatch Harrow engaged with a total of 63 local people.
