Liberal Democrats My response to the Government’s 10-year NHS plan








Dear John,

Today’s 10-year NHS plan was a missed opportunity for the Government to break
from years of Conservative neglect, which left our NHS broken.

There is much in these plans that Liberal Democrats can support. The rollout
of neighbourhood health centres and a shift towards preventative care are good
steps towards a more efficient and sustainable health service.

But you can’t fix the NHS without addressing the elephant in the waiting room
- the social care crisis, which only got a passing reference.

Hospitals and their staff are at breaking point because people can’t get the
care they need at home.

It’s time the Government stopped kicking the can down the road and restarted
cross-party talks, so the social care review can be completedthis year, rather
than in 2028.

Without fixing social care, this NHS plan could be the most expensive sticking
plaster in history.

Please share our post with your friends and family so social care won’t be
ignored any longer:

I also fear that current progress on GP recruitment will only scratch the
surface.

We’re urgently calling on the Government to boost GP numbers by 8,000 through
incentivising experienced GPs and nurses to return, providing more
opportunities for junior doctors, and increasing training facilities.

This would be geared towards giving patients a legal right to see their GP
within seven days
<[link removed]> or
24-hours if in urgent need.

And lastly, while digitisation can boost efficiency in our NHS, we can’t
leave the elderly or disabled behind, as well as those who can’t afford the
means to access the NHS app. There was no additional support for these groups
outlined in the 10-year plan.

John, with an ageing population and many GP practices already at breaking
point, these plans could simply be treading water rather than delivering the
change people are crying out for.

The Government should have more ambition and not hide away from the tough
decisions, such as those on social care.

Please join the Liberal Democrats today to support the bold actions needed to
save our NHS.
