About the Commission

Labour’s Plan for Change commits to ending hospital backlogs to meet the NHS standard of 92% of patients in England waiting no longer than 18 weeks for elective treatment.    

The Labour government was elected on the promise of change. We know that fundamental and necessary reforms are needed for our health services so that people get the care they need, when they need it.  

After 14 years of the Conservatives, the NHS not only needs to be put on the road to recovery but rebuilt so that it is fit for the future. 

 An NHS that prevents ill health in the first place, that shifts towards a model where more services are delivered in local communities, and where we can harness the power of technology to transform services.
