NHS England, 11 July 2013
- NHS England is calling on patients, the public and staff to join in a discussion about the future of the NHS, so it can plan how best to deliver services, now and in the years ahead. This call to action sets out the facts about future demands on NHS services, how the budget is currently spent and how services are delivered.
- The Call to action document discusses the key problems and opportunities that a renewed vision for the health service must address.
- In the next phase Call to Action will be collecting data, views and information on how to meet these challenges at a local level, with work co-ordinated by CCGs and NHS England. This will be done through
- a digital call to action - Staff, patients and the public will be able contribute via an online platform hosted by NHS Choices
- a series of ‘Future of the NHS’ surgeries bringing together CCGs, Health and Wellbeing Boards and other local partners
- regional and national events.
- This will feed into commissioning plans for CCGs in 2014/15 and 2015/16 and be used by NHS England to shape its direct commissioning responsibilities in primary care and specialised commissioning.
