Shaping the strategic direction of the NHS, social care and public health.
Health reform
Health reform combines a number of major changes in health and social care to create community services shaped around the needs of the patient.
Health reform ensures that these changes work together to continually deliver better and more convenient health services for everyone.
Our health, our care, our say
The White Paper, Our health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services, announces a framework for community based health and social care that follows the individual needs of the patient.
Choosing Health
The White Paper, Choosing Health: Making healthy choices easier, sets out the key principles for supporting the public to make healthier and more informed choices about their health.
NHS Plans
The NHS Plan, published in July 2000, outlined a ten year programme of investment and reform to give the population a 21st century health service designed around the patient.
