10 Year Health Plan working groups

The 10 Year Health Plan working groups will consider the future vision for the NHS and areas of the NHS that will need to change to achieve this.

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has established 11 working groups to support the development of a 10 Year Health Plan:

  • 4 groups will consider the future vision for the NHS
  • 7 groups will consider areas that will need to change to enable that vision to become a reality

Each group will have 2 co-chairs: one from either the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) or NHS England, and one external to these organisations.

The responsibilities and co-chairs of each group are set out below. You can read more about the task and scope of each group in the tasking statements given to each working group to inform their work.
