Rebecca McKee, Lucinda Hiam, and Bob Klaber discuss the need for bold government action on health, citing the UK’s struggling health service and declining health markers. They argue that improving health requires addressing social, commercial, political, and environmental factors beyond clinical interventions. They suggest that citizens’ assemblies on health, involving a diverse range of participants, could provide a mandate for progressive action by the government. By shifting focus from short term political interests to long-term health outcomes, governments can take steps towards prioritizing public health and enacting necessary changes.
