Change NHS: a public consultation on the NHS in England
The Government says it wants to co-develop the plan with the public, patients, and staff so that everyone owns it and can feel the difference in their daily lives.
The consultation will include face-to-face and digital engagement to gather views from the public, staff, and health and care leaders.
Supporting the initiative, Healthwatch England Chief Executive Louise Ansari said:
"We know people appreciate the hard work of NHS staff, but they are all too aware that the NHS faces many challenges that need fixing. The 10-year plan provides the opportunity to do this.
"We urge everyone to have their say on how the NHS should deliver better care to people where and when it is needed, more support to help people stay well, and a culture of listening to and acting on the views of patients.
"All too often, people face unequal access to care, with disabled people and those on lower incomes being particularly at risk. The NHS belongs to us all, so you must speak up and help create a health service that is fit for the future – equal and inclusive for everyone."
