The King's Fund

This morning we were pleased to welcome Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer to The King's Fund Annual conference. In his first health and care speech since starting in office, he offered his reflections on the Darzi review and outlined how his government plans to respond the stark challenges facing the sector. In her response to the speech, Sarah Woolnough said: 'Although the Prime Minister presented a starkly honest assessment of the state of health and care in England, both patients and those working in health and care services will take some hope from the Prime Minister’s promise of bold action.'
