10 Year Plan 1: “managed decline”
Keep Our NHS Public has given its verdict on Streeting’s plan. It assumes that “community care, prevention, and digital technology can solve the crisis without any significant new investment… The plan highlights a growing reliance on the private sector to deliver elective care – a model that reduces NHS capacity while leaving complex, costly cases to already overstretched NHS teams”.

10 Year Plan 2
Page 22 of the Plan will “create a new workforce model which aims to harness the ingenuity of staff working at the frontline of healthcare and which gives them the freedom to innovate…this profound change in culture will mean embracing reforms to skill mix.” A cynic might say this means more physician assistants!

10 Year Plan 3
More privatisation, these both on page 22 again –
1. “Instead of going it alone, the Plan sets out how the NHS will create new collaborations with commercial partners“, 
2. “Officials [ICBs] must prepare a business case ahead of the autumn Budget to get permission to start agreeing private funding deals for new ‘neighbourhood health centres’.”

10 Year Plan 4 – Palantir & goodbye Healthwatch
Palantir will bid for the contract for the new single patient record at the centre of Wes Streeting’s 10-year health plan. Also in Streeting’s plan, Healthwatch England and about 150 local patient voice branches to be abolished.
