Our Future Health Secured?

Sir Derek Wanless has produced a follow up report to his 2002 paper which led to Gordon Brown giving a time limited increase in funding to the NHS.

This new report (http://www.careandhealth.com/resources/pdfs/Future_Health_Secured_full_version.pdf) reviews the progress so far.

In short "What is clear from this review is that we are not on course to deliver the sustainable and world-class health care system, and ultimately healthier nation, that we all desire."

"the biggest increase in hospital activity had been in emergency admissions - a key sign of ineffeciency as the NHS is not doing enough to prevent ill-health"
