General election 2024
Informing public and political debate on how to build the nation's health.
The NHS was joint top of the list of concerns for the public in the run-up to the general election on 4 July.
Despite the NHS remaining one of the most valued institutions in the UK, a decade of underinvestment, an unprecedented pandemic and rising demand from patients have left health and care services under extreme pressure. The new government will need to tackle this challenge decisively to put the NHS on sustainable footing and ensure that people can get the care and treatment they need.
This section brings together our commentary, research and resources on what the health and care system needs, both now and in the future. It is intended to inform public and political debate on how to build the nation's health.
