National Voices’ Manifesto for Equitable Healthcare

In what is very likely to be an election year, we at National Voices have published our Manifesto for Equitable Healthcare – which puts forth our three general election priorities.

About our general election priorities

Our manifesto, which was co-produced with our members, over 200 health and care charities, is supported by a common theme – ensuring that the NHS works for all, not just those who know how to navigate the system or who come from more privileged backgrounds. 

Our general election priorities, laid out in further detail here, are as follows: 

  1. Pioneer a cross-government strategy to reduce the gap in healthy life expectancy. 
  2. Introduce a package of measures to reduce the health impact of the rising cost of living.
  3. Focus on getting the basics right. 

We seek to remind politicians that adopting these three priorities will not just improve things for patients but will also help drive NHS stability and wider economic benefits.
