1/8 Fascinating panel on shifting to prevention in healthcare at @labour conference. Former Health Secretary @alanmilburn1958 noted the challenge of "doing two things at once" - dealing with current NHS crises while also moving upstream to make the system sustainable long-term.
I’m at a Labour fringe event about preventative health care where public health minister Andrew Gwynne explained how Chris Whitty told him on his first day that 40% of NHS spending is on preventable illnesses. Fifteen years on it is forecast to be 60%, he said.
We're running an event at labour party conference - all about preventing ill-health! We're excited to be joined by @alanmilburn1958@swoolnough@MarkJGiven & more.
Please come join us & reach out to @hugomharper if you'd like to chat...
