NHS leaders call for government to be open and honest
As almost 3,000 participants gather for its annual conference, the NHS Confederation is set to underline its commitment to supporting NHS organisations as they tackle some of the NHS’s most challenging circumstances.
The NHS Confederation conference will hear how the success of the Five Year Forward View can only be achieved with political support, improved cooperation and better support for the social care and mental health services, both of which were prioritised in this years election campaign.
Chief executive Rob Webster said: “The NHS continues to deliver high quality care in very challenging circumstances. Over the last five years rising demand has been relentless and funding limited. This has required unprecedented levels of efficiency, with almost £19 billion saved by the NHS during this period. In many parts of the country our members are now implementing new models of care which better meet the health needs of the 21st century. We must be supported by the system as we do more.
“We have the opportunity to galvanise the NHS and care system behind the five year forward view and to build confidence in the future. That will require the right contribution from politicians, national bodies and front line leaders across the system.”
