The UK government has launched a 10 Year Health Plan aimed at transforming the National Health Service (NHS) by making care more accessible, bringing services closer to patients, and leveraging technology to improve healthcare delivery. The plan, introduced by Health and Social Care Minister Wes Streeting alongside the Prime Minister and Chancellor, emphasizes digital innovation, including an NHS App that will enable all patients to secure same-day GP appointments and encourage self-management of care from home. The initiative seeks to make NHS services “digital by default” and improve efficiency over the next decade. However, the plan has drawn criticism regarding its feasibility and scope. Some commentators have questioned whether the NHS App is fit for purpose and expressed concerns that the plan does not adequately address fundamental challenges faced by the health service, such as bureaucracy and union influence. Critics also doubt the government’s ability to deliver the promised technological advancements by 2028. Despite these concerns, the government asserts that work has begun to make the NHS fit for the future through this comprehensive strategy.
