We asked NHS staff what their one message to @WesStreeting would be.

Interesting piece from our senior policy advisor Toby Brown on why the NHS needs politicians.
Why? Because political leadership, or consensus, has been critical to achieving many of the big wins in health 👇hsj.co.uk/policy-and-regulat…
☀️Trying to remove politics from the NHS is akin to trying to block out the sun.
Let's start to harness its power for good - the solutions to the health omni-crises🤕of long waits, crumbling hospitals, workforce shortages, deficits, and adapting to an ageing population

❌There need be no top-down reorganisation. ICSs can be enabled to realise the benefits of local collaboration and autonomy, guided by national oversight - setting the mission, addressing poor performance, aligning wider govt policy with NHS needs, and ensuring tax-payer vfm

As covered in the Daily Mail, Stack’s latest MRP model shows Biden would narrowly win against Trump if the presidential election were held today. This poll is among the most comprehensive of the race to date and follows our first MRP of the cycle, released in November last year dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

1/3. You may have missed this (alongside the news on NHS satisfaction decline), our health is getting worse. We mustn't take our eyes off health & focus only on health & care services, however important. Our health is determined principally elsewhere... kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and…

You might be thinking about Easter Eggs, but for NHS there is strong sense of Xmas. Planning Guidance published tonight -normally a run-up-to-Xmas-Eve experience. Publishing this close to Easter is indicative of Govt last minute+ short term approach to NHS england.nhs.uk/publication/p…
👎Public satisfaction with the NHS and social care at its lowest ever level kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and…
