The Prime Minister set out the government’s intention for this to be ‘the biggest national conversation about the future of the NHS since its birth.’</p> <p>Members of the public and everyone who works in health services in England are invited to contribute through the online portal, Change NHS, as well as through local and Trust-based ‘deliberative events’.</p> <p>The 10 Year Health Plan is focused on making the NHS fit for the future, and follows findings from the <a href="/news-events/news/rcpch-responds-darzi-review">Darzi Independent Review of the NHS</a> which laid bare the challenges for health services, including worsening child health outcomes and increased pressures across paediatric services.</p> <p>As well as overarching questions about what is working well and what needs to change in order to deliver better care and reduce waiting times, the Plan will be underlined by ‘three big shifts in healthcare’. On 21 November 2024, we published a briefing on each of these shifts:</p> <ul><li><a href="/key-topics/nhs-ten-year-plan/community-shift-briefing">Moving more care from hospitals to communities</a></li> <li><a href="/key-topics/nhs-ten-year-plan/better-use-technology-shift-briefing">Making better use of technology in health and care</a></li> <li><a href="/key-topics/nhs-ten-year-plan/preventing-sickness-shift-briefing">Focusing on preventing sickness, not just treating it</a></li> </ul><h2 id="what-members-can-do">What members can do</h2> <p>Far too often, major national health policy is adult-focused, with children and child health services either an afterthought or entirely forgotten. The upcoming 10 Year Health Plan is a significant opportunity for change, and we want to ensure that children are at the centre of the Plan.</p> <p>We are calling on all RCPCH members in England to engage whenever possible: to take up any Trust or regional opportunities and to spend a few minutes filling in the Change NHS portal. This is your opportunity to make the case for the direction of health services over the next ten years, and to ensure children and the child health workforce are fully considered.</p> <p>The Change NHS portal includes specific questions about what is working well in the NHS, the biggest challenges, your personal experiences and questions about each of the three shifts. It also has a section to submit your overarching ideas for change.</p> <ul></ul><p>The College is publishing: </p> <ul><li>this briefing with overarching policy recommendations</li> <li>separate briefings for each of the key shifts with key messages, recommendations and evidence - see <a href="/key-topics/nhs-ten-year-plan/community-shift-briefing">A community shift that works for children</a>, <a href="/key-topics/nhs-ten-year-plan/better-use-technology-shift-briefing">Making better use of technology in health and care</a> and <a href="/key-topics/nhs-ten-year-plan/preventing-sickness-shift-briefing">Focusing on preventing sickness, not just treating it</a></li> <li>a ‘top tips for engagement’ resource - coming soon</li> <li>example ‘ideas for change’ from RCPCH Officers - look out for videos on our social channels, including <a href="https://x.com/rcpchtweets">X</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/royal-college-of-paediatrics-and-child-health">LInkedIn</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rcpch">Instagram</a>.</li> </ul><p><strong>We would love to see the Change NHS portal flooded with suggestions related to children’s health!

But they cannot do this alone. <strong>We need a rebalancing of the health system so there is a greater focus on meeting the needs of children and young people.</strong></p> <p>This is partly a call for equity: it is unacceptable that children’s health services have been deprioritised and underfunded compared to adult care. It is also good economic sense: investing in children’s health offers high economic returns and is essential if we want to have a healthy nation.</p> <p>While RCPCH supports the proposed shifts from hospital to community, analogue to digital, and towards prevention, there are some foundational changes that need to be put in place to ensure the NHS as a whole works better for children. Without these, child health services will not meaningfully benefit from any of the proposed shifts.</p> <p>RCPCH is calling on the Government to implement the following recommendations: </p> <h3 id="_-prioritise-children’s-health-in-national-plans">1. Prioritise children’s health in national plans</h3> <ul><li><strong>Children, young people and child health services must be specifically considered throughout the 10 Year Plan</strong>, including in proposals for each of the three shifts. The Plan must recognise that children have distinct needs, interact with the health system differently and often encounter a wider range of than adults. </li> <li><strong>Rebalance away from acute metrics</strong> against which systems have historically been assessed, towards metrics which consider community provision, holistic care, and health outcomes. While we accept the need for a reduction in the overall number of targets, there should nevertheless be clear metrics which capture how services and ICBs are meeting the physical and mental health needs of children and young people.</li> <li><strong>National prioritisation categories and risk frameworks must take into account the differential risks experienced by CYP (children and young people)</strong>, including the impact of long waits on children’s healthy development and ability to participate in education.</li> </ul><h3 id="_-ensure-fair-funding-for-children">2. Ensure fair funding for children</h3> <ul><li><strong>Introduce a Children’s Health Investment Standard</strong> to address the investment gap between child and adult health services. Similar to the Mental Health Investment Standard, this would require ICBs to increase their spending on children’s health services at a faster rate than their spending on other services, and gradually move towards more equitable service funding.</li> </ul><h3 id="_-make-devolution-to-integrated-care-systems-work-better-for-children">3. Make devolution to Integrated Care Systems work better for children</h3> <ul><li><strong>Establish clear national oversight of Integrated Care System </strong>performance for children and young people.</li> <li><strong>Set clearer expectations for Integrated Care Systems through a CYP waiting times standard</strong>, and offer dedicated support and guidance to Integrated Care Boards to tackle long waits in childhood and ensure no child is left waiting for over 18 weeks for care.</li> </ul><h3 id="_-support-a-sustainable-child-health-workforce">4. Support a sustainable child health workforce</h3> <ul><li><strong>Review the modelling on children’s health which underpins the NHSE Long Term Workforce Plan</strong>. Investment in the workforce should be evidence-based and fair, and should consider the increased demand and complexity of child health.</li> <li><strong>Develop a national child health workforce strategy</strong> which takes a whole system approach to recruitment and retention.</li> <li><strong>Commit to expanding training places for paediatricians and the wider child health workforce</strong>, with a focus on the community child health workforce.</li> </ul><p>Our <a href="/resources/transforming-child-health-services-england-blueprint">Blueprint for transforming child health services</a>, published in September 2024, sets out these recommendations and the evidence for them in more detail.</p> </div> </div> <div class="tags"> <div class="field
