Have your say: the NHS 10 Year Health Plan
All of the information about the consultation, called 'Change NHS', and how to take part is on the Change NHS website.
It includes a survey for members of the public and people who work in health and care, and a separate survey if you are contributing as a representative or an organisation. You can take part if you are over the age of 16 and live in England.
For information about accessibility and alternative formats, go to the accessibility page.
As the 10 Year Health Plan for England develops, the government will be feeding back ideas and initiatives as they emerge, and asking for your feedback. You can register for updates so you don’t miss new content you can get involved with.

Louise Ansari, Chief Executive of Healthwatch England, said:
"We know people appreciate the hard work of NHS staff, but they are all too aware that the NHS faces many challenges that need fixing. The 10-year plan provides the opportunity to do this.
"We urge everyone to have their say on how the NHS should deliver better care to people where and when it is needed, more support to help people stay well, and a culture of listening to and acting on the views of patients.
"All too often, people face unequal access to care, with disabled people and those on lower incomes being particularly at risk. The NHS belongs to us all, so you must speak up and help create a health service that is fit for the future – equal and inclusive for everyone."
