On 3rd July 2025, the UK Government published ‘Fit for the Future: 10-year health plan for England’, outlining its strategy to reform the NHS in England.
This briefing provides Carers UK’s initial view on the proposals in the plan and the impact the plan may have on unpaid carers. It also provides detail about the outcomes the NHS 10-year health plan should look to achieve in relation to unpaid carers, that we have identified through our research and engagement with carers.
As further detail emerges and we consult with unpaid carers, we will publish more detailed analysis in the coming months.
The briefing includes the following sections:
- Executive summary
- Summary of the NHS 10-year health plan
- Implications for unpaid carers
- Chapter-by-chapter analysis of the NHS 10-year health plan
