I have published an Exec Summary slide-deck of my Health and Devo report from May to help with local conversations. Given the focus on an English Devolution Bill I thought it might be particularly useful today. Download it at the bottom of this webpage: nhsconfed.org/publications/p…

It's about efficiency and sustainability, not just asking for more money.

"Its not just the staff themselves. Thinking about mechanisms like how can you pool staff, how can you help the workforce to work across different sites?" Earlier @LaylaMcCay spoke to @BBCBreakfast about measures that could be taken to combat NHS waiting lists more quickly 👇📺

Some thoughts on the #NHS legacy the government will inherit and what they will need to prioritise. NHS featured much less in the campaign than it should have but that will change as many unanswered Qs will now come to the fore.

Rising long term sickness absences affect both individual wellbeing and the economy. It’s time for innovative solutions and a fresh approach.
We’ve been working with @BCG to look at why a whole-of-government approach is key and how it can be taken forward.
