Episode Description

In the fourth episode of a series over Parliament’s summer recess, speaking to experts and looking at how Labour have performed in their first year in office, host Alain Tolhurst is joined by not one but two brilliant guests to discuss probably the single most important policy area outside of the economy for this government; health.


Labour has long staked its reputation as being the defenders of the NHS and made big promises ahead of last year’s election about fixing a broken system of healthcare in this country, but 12 months on, have they lived up to those pledges?


Later in the episode Siva Anandaciva, director of policy at the King's Fund think tank, discusses the government’s new 10-year plan to reform the health service, and how Wes Streeting is faring as health secretary, but first up in Dame Jennifer Dixon, the chief executive of the Health Foundation charity, to assess Labour’s overall performance on health and social care so far.



Presented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot
