Kings Fund proposals for removing barriers to the Five Year Forward Plan

Implementing the NHS five year forward view: Aligning policies with the plan
Kings Fund, 18 February 2015
  • According to this report, without significant changes to policy and new approaches to NHS leadership, the Five Year Forward View could fail to deliver on its ambitions. 
  • It focuses on 
    • how services are commissioned and paid for 
    • how the NHS is regulated 
    • how improvements in care are delivered by local leaders 
    • how a transformation fund could contribute.
  • It also puts forward practical proposals on what should now be done to remove barriers to the development of new care models and how implementation of these models can be supported.
