Deferred
NHS England Long-Term Plan requires update to prioritise prevention and long-term transformation.
Conclusion
NHS England should provide an update on whether they intend to refresh their 2019 Long-Term Plan and, if so, when. Any update to NHS England’s Long-Term Plan must put prevention and long-term transformation at its heart, empowering ICSs to pursue these priorities and giving them the confidence that they have the necessary backing from the Government and NHS England. This should also apply to the Government’s pending Major Condition’s Strategy. (Paragraph 37) Integrated Care Systems: autonomy and accountability 25
Government Response Summary
The government deflected from updating the Long-Term Plan, instead focusing on leadership development and stating that a senior advisory group has been brought together to plan a 3-year roadmap for leadership support.

DHSC is working closely with NHS England and other partners to explore how current and future system leaders are best equipped with the right skills and behaviours to successfully lead their organisations in a fully integrated way. We accept the value of having a national leadership programme across health, care and wider sectors. The programme will be aligned with to the response planned to the independent review on health and care leadership led by General Sir Gordon Messenger, Leadership for a collaborative and inclusive future , published in June 2022. A senior advisory group across health and care has been brought together to advise and help to plan a 3 year roadmap of leadership and management support and development in response to this and other reviews.
