Global perspectives
Health policy, planning and investment: The NHS in recovery
Rising demand, fewer resources and strained finances are placing global health systems under unprecedented stress. What investment and transformation lessons can the NHS learn from how other countries are tackling healthcare’s existential crisis?
In his Independent Investigation of the NHS in England1, Lord Ara Darzi, highlighted how patient access to care, quality of care, and the overall productivity and performance of the NHS have been chronically weakened, laying the ground for a new 10-year plan, due to be published in the Spring.
Disastrous reforms, loss of trust and goodwill with frontline staff, the aftershocks of the pandemic and a chronic lack of capital investment, set against the backdrop of increasing demands on the health service and a deteriorating health of the nation, including widening health inequalities, are cited as the cause of the NHS’s “critical condition”.
Compared to its international peers, the health spending per person in the UK is below-average, lagging behind in its capital investment in physical resources and infrastructure, lower levels of clinical staff, and less competitive remuneration of key clinical staff groups. While providing good financial protection from the costs of falling ill, the UK’s health system has fewer resources, a mixed record on efficiency and quality, and poorer health outcomes.2
The new Government has recognised that the NHS needs to make three big shifts in where, how and what it delivers, moving services: from hospital to the community; from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention.
The funding commitments in the Autumn budget announcement have been largely welcomed. A £22.6 billion increase in revenue and a £3.1 billion increase in capital over two years, with £1 billion to support backlog maintenance and the replacement RAAC hospitals, and £1.5 billion for new capacity, including beds, diagnostic technology and surgical hubs. While the investment announcements are a step in the right direction, arguably they only scratch the surface of the challenge to modernise the NHS and provide sustainable investment to upgrade its infrastructure.
Darzi’s estimation of a shortfall of £37 billion of capital investment, which includes a backlog maintenance bill now reported at £13.8 bn, that has resulted in dilapidated buildings, IT and digital infrastructure that is not fit for purpose, and a lack of modernised medical technology and equipment, is directly connected to the poor productivity of the NHS, the morale of its workforce, and poor health outcomes. But what options are available to address the chronic underinvestment in capital?3
With health systems around the world facing similar challenges, what global lessons are there to share and learn from approaches to policy, planning and investment in reforming and delivering a NHS fit for the future? In this symposium, interdisciplinary healthcare leaders will explore the global and UK context for transforming health systems and investing in infrastructure.

He integrates Western evidence-based design principles overseas, while at the same time, bringing Eastern experience-based family-centric design principles back to the U.S. At a time of so much turmoil in the Arab world, Mohammed has been an intrepid ambassador for health throughout the region.
A hands-on mentor to his studio, Mohammed has brought his young designers to meetings in the Middle East to gain a better understanding of the culture, process and projects.
