*NEW RESEARCH* 10-Year Health Plan for England

The 10-Year Health Plan for England reinforces the strategic shift towards technology-enabled healthcare delivery that has been at the heart of the government’s plans for the NHS since they came to power last July. While positioned as revolutionary reform, much of the detailed digital focus is on scaling established programmes. It presents a vision for the future but is short on detail about how that vision will be delivered. 

The NHS required fundamental change if it is to survive—Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated his warning that it’s a case of “reform or die” when launching the Plan yesterday. He said, “The status quo of ‘hospital by default’ will end, with a new preventative principle that care should happen as locally as it can: digital-by-default, in a patient’s home where possible, in a neighbourhood health centre when needed, in a hospital if necessary.”

The scaled-up digital ambitions, together with the more radical structural changes detailed in the Plan (e.g., neighbourhood health service), will still create substantial market opportunities for software and IT services suppliers.  

In this report we look at the key announcements in the 10-Year Health Plan for England. This includes the need for reform, technology priorities, the five big bets for the NHS, procurement reform, noticeable gaps in the plan, and opportunities for suppliers.
