The Guardian view on Labour and the NHS: there is no miracle cure for a struggling health system | Editorial
Briefly

Dr. Penny Dash, newly appointed chair of NHS England, acknowledges her evolution from a 'zealot' to a more collaborative leader. As the NHS faces challenges from an aging population and underinvestment, Labour's Wes Streeting must translate manifesto promises into actionable policies in his upcoming 10-year plan. His reforms aim to shift NHS focus from hospitals to community care, embrace digitalization, and prioritize public health and prevention.
