Releasing resources for reinvestment in health gain.

The National Health Services in Wales has adopted a strategic approach based on health gain. Five approaches to meeting this problem are considered (i) eliminating basic inefficiencies; (ii) eliminating unnecessary clinical activity; (iii) doing what is done now but differently; (iv) investing now to save later and (v) withdrawing from a particular area of activity, because it is less important than other competing claims. Each of these is briefly considered with particular reference to the Welsh situation. Three particular lines of advance are identified to achieve the above: creating new sources of information; working more effectively across organisational boundaries; and making the cultural changes to make it all possible.

Nearly half of all deaths in Wales are from cardiovascular disease. Christopher Riley and colleagues set out how health planners aim to change all that with protocols for health gain.

The policy practice interface in Wales.

The National Health Service in Wales, through the work of the Welsh Health Planning Forum (WHPF), has developed a new and exciting way of planning and managing its services. This encourages consumers to exert influence from the individual right through to the national level. Furthermore, managers are required to seek out and involve people, and to take advice from consumer-led groups. In this paper, Jeremy Felvus and colleagues describe briefly this new way of working and give practical examples of its impact on strategy development at all levels.
