1.3 RECENT ENCOURAGING STATEMENTS

29

Five Year Forward View

  • Simon Stevens, NHS Chief Executive
  • Published 23 October 2014
  • Radical upgrade in prevention and public

health

  • We need a ‘new deal’ for GPs
  • [A future that] no longer sees expertise

locked into often out‐dated buildings

  • Out‐of‐hospital care needs to become a

much larger part of what the NHS does

  • The NHS will invest more in primary care

Better Health for London

  • Commission for London (Lord Darzi)
  • Published 15 October 2014
  • Professionals deserve modern GP

practices; patients deserve to be seen in them

  • The quality of facilities impacts the quality
  • f care, and London is letting both its

patients and its health professionals down

  • Many of these new or refurbished facilities

should be co‐located with other services, including diagnostics, specialist care, and social care, perhaps through a ‘hub and spoke’ model
