Turning Point: More listening vital

Lord Victor Adebowale, Turning Point chief executive and NHS Future Forum member says there is still a long way to go:

"Professor Field has done a great job in completing this task in eight weeks, given the time constraints and the fact that the exercise itself was not ideal. I think we have a lot more listening to do."

"There are some sensible recommendations in the report, such as abolishing the 2013 deadline. However, I remain concerned about addressing the needs of those with complex needs. This is the litmus test for a modern NHS and saves money. Accountable, transparent, community commissioning remains key to achieving better outcomes for this group."
