In both print and online versions of today’s @financialtimes.com, our Chief Executive @theasrstein.bsky.social says the vision behind the 10 Year Health Plan is the right one. The ambition for England’s NHS is clear, but it will be harder to achieve.

NHS plan is long on the ‘what’ and short on the ‘how’

The vision of community healthcare is right but marred by the belief it will save money

He articulated clearly that the only way to turn things around in the ailing health service is by working collaboratively. We saw none of the previous language of “blockers and checkers” or implication that the health service was anti reform. In fact the opposite.

He gave a flavour of what’s to come in the forthcoming 10 year health plan - and in many ways it’s back to the 2000s (but without the money): a greater role for NHS regional tier, Foundation Trusts, financial incentives.

The diagnosis that sits behind this is that bureaucracy and top down control are at the heart of the NHS’s problems. There is no doubt that looking upwards and numerous onerous reporting requirements have not always served the NHS and its patients well.

But there is little evidence that simply changing structures leads to better health outcomes. This will be something to watch when the 10YP is finally published. Are structural solutions expected to do the heavy lifting for what is essentially a huge cultural shift in how the health service works?

Also interesting remarks from Streeting in the Q&A about how he has worked to improve relations between the DHSC, NHS and HMT. Tensions between these Depts have undoubtedly had a big impact in the past as the excellent @markgdayan.bsky.social has argued www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/nh...

It will be interesting to see if this more collaborative and friendly tone from SofS sticks when the rubber hits the road in the face of continued financial pressures. Will the language of blockers and reactionaries return when difficult things are revealed to be difficult?

So what are the takeaways from @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social address to @nhsconfed.org today? 1) a significantly more partnership-based approach to the leadership & staff of the #NHS. Good. They are crucial to delivery of any plan

So…. Welcome recognition of how hard it is and good that he sees that the NHS is up for change - much more realism - but a bit too much of a love affair with FTs - but let’s see …

Thea Stein @theasrstein.bsky.social · Jun 12

6) Fewer targets, focus on health disparities - to be welcomed - no mention of the health mission….

Thea Stein @theasrstein.bsky.social · Jun 12

5) says this is not a top down re organisation - get the point but wouldn’t feel like that in an ICB or NHSE

Thea Stein @theasrstein.bsky.social · Jun 12

4) recognises the money is not going to be enough without reform. @nuffieldtrust.org.uk would add the need to make difficult choices ….

Thea Stein @theasrstein.bsky.social · Jun 12

3) Organisational form can be flexible to place - GPs leading, GPs run by acutes -maybe a bit too much on structures - not enough on relationships & trust

Thea Stein @theasrstein.bsky.social · Jun 12

2) the return of the Foundation Trust as a driver of change & entrepreneurship - hmmm - evidence mixed as to whether it was FTs drove big improvements or the £ at that time
