The government’s ambitious vision for the health system can only be delivered by changing the behaviour of thousands of different organisations and hundreds of thousands of people working across health and care. To do this, the 10 Year Health Plan proposes some major changes to how funding flows through the system and how providers and individuals are held to account. This includes multi-year budgets, patient feedback linked payments, best practice tariffs, performance related pay for leaders, league tables for providers but fewer overall targets, and earned autonomy for high performers.

How will changes to financial flows help deliver the government’s health priorities? What impact will the 10 Year Health Plan have on allocation of resources between different parts of the NHS? And will the new accountability regime incentivise the right behaviours and ways of working?

To discuss these questions and more, we were joined by an expert panel including:

• Thomas Cawston, Corporate Affairs Lead at Novartis UK
• Anita Charlesworth, Senior Economic Adviser at the Health Foundation and acting chair of North-West London NHS Integrated Care Board
• Sally Gainsbury, Senior Policy Analyst at Nuffield Trust
• Hardev Virdee, Group Chief Finance Officer at Barts Health NHS Trust

This event was chaired by Stuart Hoddinott, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.

We would like to thank Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK for kindly supporting this event.
