Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she is taking steps to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS.

2023 marked the 75th anniversary of the National Health Service. To mark the occasion, over the course of June and July 2023, the Department and NHS England made several flagship announcements. These included: the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan; a new national targeted lung cancer screening programme; the Government’s Mandate to NHS England; an additional one million health checks to tackle cardiovascular disease through the new NHS Digital Health Checks; and a £21 million fund for NHS trusts to bid and procure artificial intelligence diagnostic imaging tools.
