Time to put young people at the heart of policy making
Daniel Elkeles responds to a briefing from the Nuffield Trust about community services waiting times.
Responding to a new briefing from the Nuffield Trust on waiting times for NHS community services, the chief executive of NHS Providers, Daniel Elkeles, said:
"This report underlines NHS trusts leaders’ worries that a forgotten generation’s life chances are being harmed due to delays accessing care.
"Preventing ill health among children and young people is central to ensuring the next generation are able to live well, thrive and contribute to society and the economy.
"We have highlighted great examples of trusts working in new and innovative ways to improve services for young people, and the lessons they have drawn.
"These include the need for a wholesale shift at a national level which puts them at the heart of policy making.”
