NHS reform

NHS reform involves changes to how healthcare services are organized, funded, or delivered to improve efficiency, quality, and patient experience. These reforms may include shifting certain services to local providers, encouraging competition, or updating management structures to reduce bureaucracy. The goal is to ensure the NHS remains sustainable, responsive to patient needs, and able to provide high-quality care amid financial and demographic challenges. Reforms are often debated to balance innovation with the foundational principles of universal access and free-at-point-of-use healthcare.
