Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure people living with (a) arthritis and (b) musculoskeletal conditions are considered in the NHS 10-year plan.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)
As part of the Government's five long-term missions, we will launch a 10-Year Health Plan to reform the National Health Service and make it fit for the future. The plan will set out a bold agenda to deliver on the three big shifts needed, to move healthcare from the hospital to the community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention.
Improving health and good work outcomes for the 20 million people in the United Kingdom who live with musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, also forms a key part of the Government’s missions to kickstart economic growth, while building an NHS fit for the future. We will carefully be considering policies with input from the public, patients, health staff, and our stakeholders, as we develop the plan.
