  5. 6 NHS priorities for 2006/2007 • Health inequalities: to deliver the LDP trajectories that make the most progress in reducing health inequalities by 10% by 2010, focusing on life expectancy at birth. The initial focus will be on smoking cessation. We will establish systems for implementation and to track progress for 2007/8 on this and other key interventions, particularly in the spearhead PCTs. • Cancer 31-day and 62-day waits: to ensure the sustained delivery throughout 2006/7 of a maximum waiting time of two months from urgent referral to treatment, and of one month from diagnosis to treatment, for all cancers. • 18-week maximum wait: to ensure that by 2008 no one waits more than 18 weeks from GP referral to hospital treatment.

  6. MRSA: to achieve year-on-year reductions in MRSA levels, as set out in the agreed LDPs for 2006/7. • Patient choice and booking: to ensure that every hospital appointment will be booked for the convenience of the patient (by implementing the Choose and Book system) and that every patient is offered a choice of at least four providers. • Sexual health and access to Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) clinics: to deliver the 2006/7 LDP trajectories so that by 2008 everyone referred to a GUM clinic should be able to have an appointment within 48 hours.

  8. “A founding principle for the NHS in 1948 was that it should improve health and prevent disease, not just provide treatment for those who are ill.” John Reid, Secretary of State for Health “..… a step change is needed in the way we address health issues and tackle health inequalities and‘more of the same’ will be insufficient... We need new thinking and practical action.” Derek Wanless, Securing good health for the population HMSO, February 2004 From sickness to health service
