WMCA response to the launch of the NHS 10 Year Plan

On Thursday 3rd July, the Government launched the NHS 10 Year Plan. This is expected to be a fundamental reset for NHS, putting people back where they belong at the heart of the care that they receive. We welcome this ambitious plan and its aims.

The West Midlands Care Association is pleased to have been part of the NHS Change engagement programme and to have had an input to the plan, but we’re disappointed there is no plan for social care either within or alongside the NHS 10 Year Plan.
