Covid-19 has exposed and exacerbated profound problems with the UK’s health, care and support provision. Several expert bodies, including a Lancet Commission and a pan European Commission reporting to WHO have put forward proposals for health, care and support services aimed at addressing such problems. These point strongly to the need for an evidence-based analysis of what service configuration and funding mechanisms will maximise effectiveness and equity, and be resilient to the challenges posed by this pandemic as well as future shocks. It is vital to involve the public, professionals and politicians in building a consensus around a new vision for health, care and support fit for the pandemic era.
This new document is the first step in creating such a consensus.
