Surgeon Lord Darzi, a peer, completed the report at the request of Health Secretary Wes Streeting, shortly after he assumed office.
The report will declare that the nation’s health has substantially declined over the previous 15 years and find that the National Health Service (NHS) is in a “critical condition” with record waiting lines and too much of its funding spent in hospitals.
The industry is staffed with people who “shared passion and determination to make the NHS better for our patients,” therefore Lord Darzi will also state that the service’s vital signs “remain strong.”
In a speech on Thursday, the prime minister will highlight the conclusions of the investigation and place the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Conservatives, particularly in relation to the effects of the 2012 Health and Social Care Act, which the report referred to as a “calamity” that had “proved disastrous” and suggested a decade of underinvestment.
However, he will provide his own ideas, including a Labour 10-year plan that claims to have “the fingerprints of NHS staff and patients all over it.”
