But with the health service experiencing difficulties, this long read from Mark Dayan, Sally Gainsbury and Stuti Bagri explores how the role of the private sector has changed in UK health care.

Dementia is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) health challenge we face as a nation. Dementia is the poor relation of the major human disease family.
In the UK, there is a significant difference in the amount of funding allocated to dementia research compared to cancer research. As of recent figures, the UK government invests around £85 million annually in dementia research. This figure reflects approximately 0.25% of the annual cost of dementia to society, which stands at £26 billion (NIHR) (Alzheimer's Research UK). The government has committed to doubling this funding to £160 million per year by 2024/25 as part of the Dame Barbara Windsor Dementia Mission (Dementia Statistics Hub) (Questions and Statements). In contrast, cancer research receives substantially more funding. The government invested £269 million in cancer research in 2015/16, which is about 1.6% of cancer's annual cost to the UK, estimated at £16.4 billion (Alzheimer's Research UK). This disparity highlights the need for increased investment in dementia research to better address the growing challenges posed by this condition as the population ages. For more detailed information on these figures and the government's plans, you can refer to sources like Alzheimer's Research UK and the Dementia Statistics Hub (NIHR) (Alzheimer's Research UK).

This latest report shows that global medicine shortages are being felt particularly acutely in the UK, and the country's reliance on migration as a source of health and social care staff is intensifying.

It’s clear that whoever forms the next government will inherit an NHS workforce in England that has been far from content when it comes to their pay and working conditions, with nurses, consultants and junior doctors all striking in the past couple of years. With concerns also having been raised about how wages are set for health service staff, Rachel Hutchings explores how the pay-setting process works in a selection of different health systems across the world and whether there are any lessons for England.

With an election approaching, the Nuffield Trust's briefing series challenges the NHS and social care manifesto commitments of UK political parties in advance of the vote. The second in our series looks at adult social care: a vital public service supporting people of all ages to live with dignity and independence but one that has been left with insecure funding, variable access, catastrophic costs for those in need, and high staff turnover. Reform is long overdue, and we set out the criteria we believe would need to be met for getting social care on the right footing.

Three points that immediately come to mind from this report are: 1. what can be done immediately – almost everyone you speak with has a story about NHS staffing. The word crisis is overused, but… 2. As well as pay what other factors are contributing to the exodus? 3. Picking up on point 2, what other things beside pay might make employment conditions better?
