  • 46: A new government and health after the general election: part 2 – with Hannah White and John McTernan
    Jul 19 2024
    There’s a new Prime Minister in Downing Street and a new political reality in the UK. But what does it all mean for health and care? The incoming government faces a range of complex policy challenges – many of them linked to health and care – and a daunting fiscal inheritance.

    While the public might show patience for a few months, they will expect to see some results quickly – and health is a top priority for voters. So how is the new government going to navigate these tensions? What will being ‘mission-led’ mean in practice? And where is the money going to come from?

    To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by:

    • Hannah White, Director and CEO of the Institute for Government.
    • John McTernan, Senior Adviser at BCW Global. John was formerly director of political operations for the Labour government from 2005 to 2007.

  • 45: The general election and health: part 1 – with Sam Freedman and Paul Corrigan
    Jun 21 2024
    As the general election approaches, what are the main parties planning on health and will it make a difference?

    Polling day is rapidly approaching and all the main party manifestos have now been published. But when it comes to health and care, do we know what we’re voting for? Many commentators have expressed deep frustration at the opacity of the political debate – not just about the state we are in, but on the plans to get out of it.

    This matters because whoever wins the election faces a daunting series of challenges. Not least cratering public satisfaction with NHS services, an elective care waiting list standing at 7.6 million, rising levels of ill health among working-age people, and an economy growing too slowly to support the funding and investment public services will require.

    So what are the main parties promising on health, are their pledges in tune with the public mood, and are their plans equal to the scale of the challenges?

    To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by:

    • Sam Freedman, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government and former Senior Policy Adviser to Michael Gove at the Department for Education.
    • Paul Corrigan, Management Consultant and former Special Adviser to Alan Milburn and Tony Blair under New Labour. Paul is currently advising the Labour Party on health policy.

  • 44: Sure Start: a model for long-term policymaking? – with Naomi Eisenstadt and Donna Molloy
    May 28 2024
    More long-term, mission-led policymaking is sorely needed, but how best to do it?
    The Sure Start programme was set up with the aim of giving young children the best possible start in life, narrowing gaps in outcomes for disadvantaged children. First announced by the New Labour government in 1998, it has evolved regularly over the past two decades. Recent evaluations have found early versions of Sure Start delivered positive impacts for children – supporting improved educational attainment, employment outcomes and long-term health.

    So what lessons does Sure Start hold for long-term policymaking? How can national policymakers drive long-term change in social outcomes, what pitfalls need to be avoided, and where should any new government be looking if they want to improve children’s lives and health today?
    To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by:
    • Naomi Eisenstadt, former director for Sure Start and current Chair of Northamptonshire integrated care board (ICB).
    • Donna Molloy, Deputy Chief Executive at Foundations – What Works Centre for Children & Families.
