Optimising care (eg right medicines, patients fit enough for their op, reducing RTT waits), addressing prevention of ill-health and health inequalities are all critical to better patient outcomes and reducing (and/or mitigating against rising demand) healthcare costs and the carbon footprint.
Are national policy levers currently used in the NHS in England supporting or blocking progress towards net zero care?
Our analysis identifies some policy gaps and suggests what could be changed to make faster progress.

Labour must increase benefits if they want to 'get Britain working again'
Poverty harms people's health and pushes people further away from work – so experts are calling for benefits to be increased.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.
