UK government proposes reforms for health and social care following pandemic
11th February 2021
The UK government is set to publish a white paper containing proposals for future reforms in a bid to ‘bring health and care services closer together’.
The reforms, set out by Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock with support from NHS England and health and care system leaders, will aim to improve care and tackle health inequalities.
This includes proposed changes to legal framework which would make the health and care system ‘fit for the future’, as well as implementing targeted improvements for the delivery of public health and social care.
