2015 Challenge Manifesto

Produced by national organisations representing health and care charities, local government, communities, staff and leaders, this document sets out a vision for health and care and a route map to achieve it.


The route map states that leaders need to drive improvement to local services, working in partnership with one another, staff, people we care for, and local communities. These endeavours can only be achieved with the backing of Government and local bodies creating the conditions to facilitate change.

The manifesto demonstrates what policymakers and politicians need to do by introducing 15 ‘asks' and calls on political parties to deliver them.

The ‘asks' include: a Government-wide approach to keeping people well; and a national sector-led programme to support self-care at scale.
