Making it happen

Taken together,we believe that these proposals could revolutionise care for the 17 million people in the UK living with a long-term condition.We are calling on the political parties to include our proposals in their manifestos for the next general election and to test all of their policies against the principles we have outlined in this document.

If you have any comments on our proposals or would like to get involved, please take a look at our website www.17millionreasons.org or e-mail betterdeal@17millionreasons.org
