But senior doctors say the rare meeting is unlikely to reverse the NHS' fortunes, blaming the crisis on 'years of inaction'
The Prime Minister will hold emergency talks with NHS and care leaders in an attempt to reverse Britain’s unfolding winter healthcare crisis.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay, Treasury minister John Glen, Cabinet Office minister Oliver Dowden and the chief executive officer of NHS England Amanda Pritchard are also set to attend. The focus will be on four crucial issues: social care and delayed discharge, urgent and emergency care, elective care, and primary care.
As well as ministers, attendees will include chief executives and clinical leaders from NHS organisations, local areas and councils from across the country. “We want to correct the unwarranted variation in NHS performance between local areas, because no matter where you live you should be able to access quality healthcare."
