Description

The NHS turns 75 this week. But facing a staffing crisis, an ageing and unhealthy population, and increasingly poorer health outcomes for patients, what will be next for our beleaguered national health service? The Guardian’s John Harris discusses the possible treatment plans with Pat Cullen, the general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, and Isabel Hardman, a political journalist and author of Fighting for Life, a new book on the NHS.
