Health Secretary Wes Streeting emphasized at the Institute for Public Policy Research that chronic disease must be taken seriously, highlighting its detrimental effects on quality of life, the economy, and health services. He argued that addressing these issues through NHS and public health reforms is crucial, although he assured the audience that he would not dictate personal choices regarding diet or lifestyle.
During his address, Streeting stated, 'Chronic disease is terrible for people's quality of life, the economy, and health and social care services.' His commitment to reform stems from a recognition that large-scale public health transformations are necessary to effectively tackle these chronic conditions.
