The NHS in the South East of England is facing a number of challenges, including an ageing population, rising demand for services, and financial constraints. A public consultation has been launched to gather views on how the NHS should be reformed to meet these challenges.
The consultation is being led by NHS England and NHS Improvement, and will run until 10 January 2025. It is open to everyone who lives or works in the South East of England, and can be completed online or by post.
The consultation asks a number of questions about the future of the NHS, including:
- What are your priorities for the NHS in the South East of England?
- What changes do you think need to be made to the way the NHS is organised and delivered?
- How can we improve the quality of care provided by the NHS?
- How can we make the NHS more efficient and cost-effective?
The consultation also includes a number of proposals for reforming the NHS, including:
- Moving to a more integrated model of care, with closer collaboration between hospitals, GPs, and other health and social care providers.
- Investing in new technology to improve the efficiency and quality of care.
- Increasing the use of community-based services to keep people out of hospital.
- Reforming the way the NHS is funded to make it more sustainable in the long term.
NHS England and NHS Improvement will use the feedback from the consultation to develop a new plan for the future of the NHS in the South East of England. The plan will be published in early 2025.
