  • Summary

  • By now, you'll be familiar with headlines warning that Britain's National Health Service, the NHS, is at "breaking point" - still feeling the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, together with chronic staff shortages, long waiting times and the recent wave of strike action.

    So how do we fix it?

    Is it just a question of more money, beyond the £160 billion a year the government spends already - or is the system as it is no longer fit for purpose?

    To answer these questions we're joined by Alan Milburn, a former UK Health Secretary under the Tony Blair government, who has spent decades working in health policy.
