Building on a previous analysis produced in association with the Institute for Fiscal Studies, this paper examines the gap between the likely available funding and the level of funding required to achieve the progress projected by Sir Derek Wanless in his 2002 report for the Treasury.

The report assesses how much progress the NHS has made in the following eight areas: access, safety, health promotion and management of long-term conditions, clinical effectiveness, patient experience, equity, efficiency and accountability.

The era of unprecedented investment in health care is over, and prospects for future funding now look bleak. But how will the NHS respond? We used a behavioural simultation to test the possibilities.

Starting with a look at historical funding for the NHS, The King's Fund and the Institute for Fiscal Studies set out three possible future funding scenarios and their consequences.

This briefing examines the recent history of the quality and safety, financial and economic regulation of health care providers in England.

This briefing provides The King's Fund's analysis of the key themes explored in High Quality Care For All, the final report from Lord Darzi's NHS Next Stage Review.

As part of Lord Darzi's review of the NHS, each strategic health authority (SHA) outside London was commissioned to produce a report outlining their 'vision' for care in their region in the next decade.

This briefing provides the background of the review and asks what the final report might recommend.
