The health policy year in review 2022 (The Kings Fund 2023)

Summary

In this review piece Siva Anandaciva, Chief Analyst at The Kings Fund, looks back at 2022.

Reflecting through a health policy lens, Siva uses statistics and graphics to illustrate the activity month-by-month.

He concludes that it was a year "dominated by yet more political change at the top of government, a cost-of-living crisis, a looming winter of strike action, growing fears of a two-tier health system based on ability to pay, and the continued second-class citizenship of an adult social care system that saw its charging reforms delayed once again."
