<p>We have asked the National Health Service to develop a clear implementation framework
by spring, to set out how the commitments should be delivered by local systems and
ensure transparency for patients and the public.</p><p>The Government recognises the
importance of capital investment and public health, health education and adult social
care services to the NHS. Last June the Government confirmed that to support the plan,
in addition to a five-year revenue settlement the Government will:</p><p>- come forward
with proposals to reform social care;</p><p>- ensure adult social care places no additional
pressure on the NHS;</p><p>- ensure the public health budget supports efforts to help
people live longer, healthier, happier lives;</p><p>- consider proposals from the
NHS for a multi-year capital plan to support transformation and a multi-year funding
plan for clinical training places, based on the workforce requirements of the NHS
plan; and</p><p>- consider any proposals from the NHS for legislative changes that
will help it to improve patient care and productivity, as requested by the NHS.</p><p>The
future of budgets outside of the NHS England resource settlement will be confirmed
later this year at the Spending Review 2019.</p>
