On to the NHS! Immediate focus on timely access to care, a massive issue. Labour stress the point that an unhealthy workfore has an economic impact, meaning the NHS' struggles have significant consequences. /17
The government plan three "big reform shifts," which will be central to a 10 Year Health Plan - to be published in spring next year. These will all be challenging to implement; we're talking significant change here. /18
Interestingly, Labour stress how to evaluate their success; can they get the NHS back to its target of 92% of patients waiting no longer than 18 weeks from referral to treatment? It hasn't been hit in a long time. /19
Next there's a stress on the police recruitment and crime. Still solid targets. Personally, I feel another issue is being ignored: TRUST in the police. /20
We've had a drumbeat of police failings for a long, long time. The Met in particular is appalling. Personally, I think increasing concern over crime is tied to decreasing TRUST in the police, not just officer numbers. /21
