The latest edition of the Not The NHS Again podcast discusses the NHS 10-Year Plan and the future of the healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host Dr Steve Taylor, the Doctors\u2019 Association UK (DAUK) GP co-lead, is joined by Tony O\u2019Sullivan, co-chair of Keep Our NHS Public<\/a>, and Mark E Thomas, founder and editor of the 99% Organisation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the episode, titled NHS 10-Year Plan \u2013 is there one?<\/a>, they discuss rising waiting lists, chronic underfunding and the increasing role of private providers in NHS planning and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restore standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mark reflects on how the NHS was internationally recognised for quality, efficiency and equity, arguing that meaningful reform and investment could restore those standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony warns that market-driven policies and service cuts are already having serious consequences for patient care and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And listeners will hear why the Government\u2019s proposed 10-year NHS plan has attracted criticism, alongside discussion of staff morale, patient safety, and the dangers of performance targets overtaking clinical priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
