Great article Rory. As someone who is living with ITP ( a rare auto immune condition) and Fibromyalgia, my big fear is that the 10 Year plan is heavy on the what but light on the how. It is a bit like reading the Christmas present list I would've written when I was 5 years old. Plenty of wants but, well you can't have a new bike every year can you ?

As you say, short termism is a speciality here in the UK not just the NHS and as ever it could be that the innovation and modernisation just gets buried in a lack of funds, resistance to change, bureaucracy and lack of will. Let's see.

I am an optimist but the NHS is such a huge animal, and I am, like most of us, sceptical.
