Funding reform and social care as healthcare infrastructure

How could the NHS and associated military healthcare be improved?

Rework the existing system by removing perverse funding incentives and investing in social care, whose failures create pressure elsewhere in healthcare.

Dr. Dan sees scope to repair the existing system rather than replace it. The funding structure creates incentives that work against the intended outcomes and should be reorganized. Social care also affects hospital capacity and other health services even when the connection is less visible. Proper investment in that supporting system is therefore part of healthcare reform.
