Here is the #AutumnStatement documents for those who like to go devil hunting in the detail: gov.uk/government/pub…
New targets for the NHS with a recovery plan in the new year to include reaching cat 2 999 calls (strokes/heart attacks) within 30 minutes on avg by 2023-24 + better A&E waits and improved GP access #AutumnStatement Image
The NHS will "explore further options" to boost patient choice to access care "from any provider - private sector or NHS" with better data and earlier info #AutumnStatement Image
Government says it will continue with the New Hospital Programme...but this will cost several tens of billions and no sign of any investment of that order yet. Every delay adds to the cost #AutumnStatement Image
A lot of this relies on workforce to deliver & pay restraint is fuelling an exodus as are pension rules that got no mention. They will need addressing - @Jeremy_Hunt may be waiting for the workforce plan publication but every day of delay risks losing more staff #AutumnStatement

🚨 Exclusive: One dogged coroner, four needless deaths and a stark conclusion: Britain's health and care system is broken: thetimes.co.uk/article/one-do…
Health secretary @SteveBarclay has been told he must act to prevent more deaths by coroner Andrew Cox, who investigated 4 deaths and quizzed officials to understand what was really driving appalling ambulance waits: thetimes.co.uk/article/one-do…
Among the deaths was 90-year-old Winnie Barnes-Weeks who had to lie on the floor for 19 hours with a broken hip waiting for an NHS ambulance that never came. A local GP had to organise a private ambulance to get her to hospital: thetimes.co.uk/article/one-do… Image

.@wesstreeting says Labour will work with NHS managers to deal with the biggest crisis in the NHS history. He says many of the problems have been created by government failures. #nhsp22
There is no future for the NHS that involves pouring ever larger amounts of money into a 20th century care model, says @wesstreeting adding: "We don't focus enough on prevention, early intervention and social care. The case for change is unarguable." #nhsp22
.@wesstreeting says Labour will launch major reforms of NHS when in Govt (shudders) with a 10year plan. This will include doubling the number of district nurses qualifying he says. #nhsp22

"A truly resilient NHS will not be built by short term decisions that take us from now to the next general election. Patching, propping and stop gap measures are not lasting solutions" says @Saffron_Policy opening #NHSP22
"Money is tight with inflation on track to wipe out at least £7 billion pounds from next year's NHS budget. To say there is no slack in the system would be a gross understatement" - @Saffron_Policy #NHSP22
"A £1 billion pound reduction in funding for frontline services could mean around 700,000 fewer planned operations and procedures for patients next year" - @Saffron_Policy #NHSP22
