The NHS belongs to the people:
A Call To Action
Every day the NHS saves lives and helps people
stay well. But 65 years ago it was different. Many
had to choose between poverty or seeing a doctor
Today the NHS treats 1 million people every 36
hours
Our life expectancy increased by 4.2 years
between 1990 and 2010
88 per cent of patients said their quality of care
was either excellent or very good
But…
The NHS belongs to the people:
A Call To Action
The population is getting older – the number of
people over 80 will double by 2030
The number of people with diabetes is expected to
hit 4 million by 2025
The public is asking for health services to operate
seven days a week
There is a limited amount of money. If we do
nothing, the NHS could face a gap of £30 billion.
The NHS belongs to the people:
A Call To Action
Doing nothing is not an option.
Ensuring that healthcare remains free at the point
of use will mean fundamental changes.
We need to work with HealthWatch, the public and
all the area’s voluntary organisations to decide
how to do this.
Tell us your ideas and solutions to help us plan
our next five years.
The NHS belongs to the people:
A Call To Action
1. How can we work together to prevent people
from becoming ill or to treat illnesses earlier?
2. How can we ensure people’s mental and
physical health are treated the same?
3. How can we encourage and support patients to
take more responsibility for their own health?
4. How can we ensure health services focus on
the needs of our patients?
