Keir Starmer reveals major NHS reforms
Sir Keir Starmer has pledged “the biggest reimagining of our NHS since its birth” after the review by Lord Darzi of Denham found waiting times have deteriorated, no progress has been made on diagnosing cancer early, and the health service has been starved of capital investment.

00:00My Labour government was elected on a mandate for change, so I'm also here to talk about
00:05how together we can fix it. I feel very profoundly the responsibility for this, and indeed the
00:14opportunity of this moment. The NHS may be broken, but it's not beaten. As the report
00:24says, the NHS may be in a critical condition, but its vital signs are strong. And we need
00:31to have the courage to deliver long-term reform. Major surgery, not sticking plasters. We've
00:39got to face up to the challenges, and we have a choice about how it should meet those demands.
00:46Not act and leave it to die. Raise taxes on working people, or reform to secure its future.
00:57Working people can't afford to pay more, so it's reform or die. So let me be clear from
01:06the outset what reform does not mean. First, it does not mean abandoning those founding
01:14ideals of a public service, publicly funded, free at the point of use. The basic principle
01:23of dignity. Inspired of course by Bevan, that when you fall ill, you should never have to
01:30worry about the bill. That is as true today as when the NHS was founded 76 years ago,
01:39and I believe in that very deeply. Second, reform does not mean just putting more money
01:48in. Now of course, even in difficult financial circumstances, a Labour government will always
01:56make the investment in our NHS that is needed, always. But we have to fix the plumbing before
02:02turning on the taps. So this government is working at pace to build a 10-year plan.
02:12Something so different from anything that's gone before. This plan will be framed around
02:19three big shifts, three fundamental reforms, which are rooted in what Lord Darzi has set
02:26out today. First, moving from an analogue to a digital NHS. Second, and Sarah mentioned
02:35this, we've got to shift more care from hospitals to communities. And third in terms of the
02:43shifts, we have got to be much bolder in moving from sickness to prevention. Well that's what's
02:50really exciting and galvanising about this moment. Because if we get this right, people
02:58can look back and say, this was the generation that took the NHS from the worst crisis in
03:06its history, got it back on its feet and made it fit for the future.
