Our healthcare status quo is not working for anyone. Business as usual is particularly failing women across the country - with access, quality of care and patient experience having all declined. Outcomes have gone in the wrong direction, even as NHS spend has risen. To solve these entrenched, long-term problems, we launched the 10 Year Health Plan in July 2025 - a blueprint for 3 modernising shifts, for a ‘fit for the future’ new care model, and for a new focus on patient voice, choice and empowerment.

P.66 Action 83: we will support women to smoke less - We are delivering the landmark Tobacco and Vapes Bill to create the first smoke free generation, as well as cracking down on advertising and sponsorship of vapes and other nicotine products. And we will ringfence all funding for stop smoking services in the Public Health Grant. From April 2026 this ringfence mean at least at least £150 million per year will be protected for these services, providing funding certainty.

Action 84: we will introduce a mandatory requirement for alcoholic drinks to display consistent nutritional information and health warning messages - This will improve and expand on existing voluntary guidelines for alcohol labelling.
