The future of the NHS: no longer the envy of the world? (original) (raw)

2018, Lancet (London, England)

AI-generated Abstract

The NHS, established in 1948 on the principles of universality and free access, faces significant challenges as rising demand outstrips available resources. Critics advocate for serious reforms, including alternate funding models, questioning the sustainability of funding through general taxation. As the NHS approaches its 70th anniversary, the LSE-Lancet Commission aims to assess its future, focusing on long-term health outcomes and integrating diverse stakeholders' perspectives to guide strategic leadership and effective service delivery.
