On Wednesday 17 April, a multidisciplinary team of healthcare and economics experts will discuss the seminal report The Rational Policy Maker’s Guide to the NHS with members of the Senedd, at an event sponsored by Jenny Rathbone MS. The award-winning Welsh actor Owen Teale (best known for playing Ser Alliser Thorne in Game of Thrones) will perform an excerpt from Nye Bevan’s In Place of Fear, reminding us what fearless, visionary policy-making looks like.

The NHS was a central part of the UK’s post-war social contract when it was founded. Now it’s struggling to perform and there are increasing calls from the right for so-called ‘reform’, which is often a euphemism for privatisation and introduction of insurance-based funding. This guide explains how there can be no healthy economy without a well-funded NHS: if the NHS is allowed to fail, so too will the economy. We hope to influence the Welsh government to prioritise NHS funding.
