Keir Starmer emphasized the need for bold reform in the NHS, declaring it critical to implement long-term measures rather than superficial fixes to meet increasing health demands.
In his speech, Starmer acknowledged the daunting challenges faced by the NHS, urging, "We've got to face up to the challenges of an ageing society, a higher burden of disease."
The Darzi report revealed the NHS's dire condition, stating years of government neglect resulted in the health service struggling to meet the demand, particularly in emergency care.
Starmer stated that prevention will be a cornerstone of his plan, indicating a focus on issues like tooth decay and obesity, and expressing readiness for necessary but controversial measures.
