[Your CLP] notes that:

• NHS waiting lists have fallen since Labour won the election in July 2024.

• The government has already delivered over 2 million extra NHS appointments, meeting its election pledge 7 months early.

• Since October last year, over 1500 extra GPs have been recruited after the government cut red tape and invested an extra £82 million into recruitment.
  
  

[Your CLP] believes that:

• Years of Conservative underfunding and mismanagement left the NHS overstretched, with staff under unbearable pressure and patients waiting too long for care.

• The abolition of NHS England will save money and cut bureaucracy, putting the democratically-elected government in charge of day-to-day running of the health service.

• Long-term investment must be paired with meaningful reform, including a greater focus on prevention, primary and community care, and fully utilising cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes.
  
  

[Your CLP] resolves to:

• Support the Government’s ambition to ensure that 92% of patients receive a diagnostic test, outpatient appointment, or operation within 18 weeks of a GP referral by 2029.

• Advocate for the role of digital innovation in reducing waiting times, improving efficiency, and enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses across local NHS services.

• Host a CLP event centred on Labour’s “Build an NHS fit for the future” policy commission, inviting a local National Policy Forum representative and other relevant speakers.

• Promote the successes of the Labour government’s Plan for Change in delivering a better NHS for all.
