Major Overhaul Required
Labour's Wes Streeting is calling for a significant reform of the NHS, warning that without major changes, there will be no additional funding for the healthcare system.
Digitising NHS Paperwork
Streeting and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer reveal plans to digitise NHS paperwork through an overhaul of the NHS app, aiming to streamline processes and improve efficiency.
Private Sector Involvement
The proposed reforms include bringing in the private sector to assist in reducing waiting times and utilizing spare capacity in private healthcare to support the NHS.
Focus on Results
Streeting emphasizes the need to shift the conversation from funding to results, stating that the NHS should be judged on how well it serves the public rather than the financial cost of its failures.
Improved Access to Healthcare
The NHS app overhaul will provide notifications for scans, GP availability, and direct access to medical records, while also allowing parents to easily track their children's health records for vaccinations and check-ups.
These proposed changes aim to address issues such as falling vaccination rates for diseases like measles.
