Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts, ideas, and experiences as part of the Change NHS engagement programme. Your feedback has been invaluable in helping to gather the views of staff, patients, partners, and the public across Norfolk and Waveney.
This report brings together what we heard locally and forms part of the national conversation to shape a new 10-Year Health Plan for England. For more than 76 years, the NHS has been a vital part of life in the UK—but to ensure it continues to serve future generations, the Government is developing a long-term plan for a modern, sustainable health service.
The new plan will focus on three major shifts:
- Providing more care in the community – making it easier for people to access support closer to home.
- Using technology to improve care – embracing digital innovation to enhance services and outcomes.
- Preventing illness, not just treating it – putting greater emphasis on staying well and tackling health issues earlier.
The Government’s 10-Year Health Plan is expected to be published in summer 2025. In the meantime, the report below report offers a detailed look at the views shared by people in Norfolk and Waveney. It will inform local planning and contribute to the national vision for a healthier future. Please click on the link below to view the report.
