Hosted by The King's Fund.

ALT Sarah Woollough, CEO of The King's Fund, quoted on a purple background, discussing the impact of failing to invest in prevention across all areas of public services. ‘Failing to put prevention first can be seen across all areas of public services, not just the health service. A lack of investment in prevention not only costs the economy but also results in lost opportunities for people – and lost lives.’

ALT Sarah Woolnough, CEO of The King’s Fund, with a quote about NHS services improvements on a purple and gray background. The text reads: ‘Today’s announcement lands on the same day that NHS stats show people continue to wait days in A&E and many patients remain stuck in hospital beds despite being well enough to leave. The most important question is how will the abolition of NHS England make it easier for people to get a GP appointment, shorten waits for planned care and improve people’s health? That hasn’t yet been set out – ministers will need to explain how the prize will be worth the price.
