Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS

Have your say on ‘Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS’

The NHS White Paper, Equity and excellence: Liberating the NHS, sets out the Government's long-term vision for the future of the NHS. The vision builds on the core values and principles of the NHS - a comprehensive service, available to all, free at the point of use, based on need, not ability to pay.

It sets out how we will:

  • put patients at the heart of everything the NHS does
  • focus on continuously improving those things that really matter to patients
  • empower and liberate clinicians to innovate, with the freedom to focus on improving healthcare services 
     

The White Paper is supported by a number of other documents which set out more detailed proposals, and consult on more detailed aspects of the vision and its implementation. The following links contain information on open/closed consultations and key documents.
