I feel like this is happening in the AI space - billions in investment for nebulous health interventions on the promise that they might save money down the line. Can we please remember that health technologies are expensive to implement, and this has an impact on healthcare expenditure!

Meanwhile, interventions that tackle the structural determinants of health often don't attract investment (despite being much cheaper!), because it's difficult to prove that they would save money in the short term. Even if it's clear that there would be significant benefit to populations.

Feeling very sorry for anyone working at NHS England today - I feel like this has been incredibly poorly handled.
