  • 55: When work isn’t working: tackling the UK’s sickness problem – with Jon Ashworth and Sacha Romanovitch
    2025/05/27
    8.2 million working-age people report having a long-term health condition that limits their ability to work. 1.7 million say that work itself is making them ill or creating challenges. In addition to causing personal hardships, this decline in working-age health is causing concern among employers, politicians and policymakers.

    With the benefits bill rising, government has set its sights on wide-ranging welfare reforms, including significant changes to health and disability benefits. Are these reforms likely to incentivise and support people back into work? And how can the system intervene earlier and support employers to provide people with the flexibility they need to stay in work in the first place?

    To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by:

    • Jon Ashworth, Chief Executive of Labour Together and former shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and for Work and Pensions.
    • Sacha Romanovitch, Chair of the Commission for Healthier Working Lives, which is supported by the Health Foundation.

  • 54: Abolishing NHS England: a chat with outgoing chair Richard Meddings
    2025/05/06
    ‘Today we are abolishing the biggest quango in the world,’ – Wes Streeting, 13 March 2025

    Many people were surprised by the government’s decision to abolish NHS England and fold its functions into the Department of Health and Social Care. Not least Richard Meddings, Chair of NHS England since 2022. Having formally completed his term in March, Richard joins our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon to discuss.

    In a wide-ranging conversation, Richard reflects on his time at NHS England and how the organisation has changed. With the NHS facing growing demand for care, and continuing to top the public’s list of priorities, where does the forthcoming 10-year health plan need to focus? How should ministers lead the service in the future? And what needs to happen to ensure the NHS reaches its 100th year?

  • 53: The health mission unpacked – with Hannah White and Jo Bibby
    2025/04/02
    It’s 2 years since Keir Starmer first set out his five missions for government, including a health mission to build ‘an NHS fit for the future’ and ‘a fairer Britain, where everyone lives well for longer’. Missions were supposed to mean a new way of doing government – focused on ambitious, long-term objectives that provide a driving sense of purpose for the country.

    So, with Labour now in office for 9 months, what have we learned about how mission-driven government works in practice? Are clues emerging about how government plans to improve the nation’s health beyond the confines of the NHS? And do missions show signs of bringing about durable changes in policy and how the state works?

    To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by:

    • Hannah White, Director at the Institute for Government.
    • Jo Bibby, Director of Health at the Health Foundation.
