On 15 April, the New Statesman and Pfizer hosted a round-table discussion on the future of Britain’s national health service. As the election approaches, health, and the NHS in particular, will be in the forefront of people’s minds. But what are the important issues, and will the NHS remain recognisable in 2020? Representatives from government, the UK healthcare sector and industry came together with policy advisers and commentators to consider how the health service can evolve to meet changing needs. Will choice become inevitable as we expect the health service to respond to our increasing consumer demands? Should we be concentrating less on choice and more on primary care in the community?

This event was the first in a series of six policy forums, in which leading opinion-formers will debate the key policy issues that make an impact on the healthcare sector.
