"e;24 hours to save the NHS"e;. It was a political slogan but it hid a deeper        question. Could the NHS survive? Could it continue to offer free health care for        every citizen regardless of their ability to pay? Could the extraordinary,        liberating ambition and dream of its founders 50 years before be maintained in the        21st Century - that everyone, no matter how poor or ill, should be freed from        worrying about how to pay for their health care.By 2000 the NHS was in decline with        falling standards and failing public support. Its supporters were beginning to        question its viability, whilst its enemies were eager to catalogue its faults.Five        years later we had an answer. Radical change and investment meant that the NHS had        survived. Standards were improving and the NHS was expanding. Proof came from        outside. Public satisfaction doubled and fewer people opted for private healthcare.          Most tellingly, all the major political parties went into the 2010 general election        committed to the NHS and to helping it develop and prosper.Today the question has        changed. The NHS has survived but can it become sustainable at a time of austerity        and as demand for its services grows? 24 hours to save the NHS shows what we can        learn from the past, and describes what more we need to do to innovate for the        future.It is the inside story of the last reforms written by the man charged with        implementing them, and who was given unprecedented authority as both Chief Executive        of the NHS and Permanent Secretary of the Department of Health. A very practical        book - it describes the successes and failures as well as the pressures and the        difficulties of making improvements in the fourth biggest organization in the world        which employs 1.3 million people and spends billion a year.It will be of        interest to the general reader, health workers, policy makers, academics and        students alike.
