In 1948 a Labour government founded the NHS. My job now is to make it fit for the future | Wes Streeting

More care will be available on your doorstep and from your own home, with thousands more GPs.

Services and resources will be moved out of hospitals and into the community.

New neighbourhood health centres will house doctors, nurses, physios, therapists, scans and urgent care under one roof.

AI technology will liberate frontline staff from the drudgery of admin, giving them time to care.

It will fulfil Nye Bevan’s commitment in 1948 that the NHS would put a megaphone in the mouth’ of every patient.

It will make sure that the advantages enjoyed by the privileged few were available to all.

It won’t be easy, but nothing could be more worthwhile, says Wes Streeting .
