Chair of NHS Future Forum on "changing the culture in health and social care"

Professor Steve Field spoke at the King's Fund conference on creating incentives to improve quality and promote integration.

The chair of the NHS Future Forum explained that "there was no silver bullet" when it comes to integration of health and social care but the main issue was encouraging clinical leaders to realise "that frankly we can't just get up in the press and just carry on saying he NHS has to stay how it is".

Speaking shortly after the Department of Health announced that it had accepted the Future Forum's recommendations on the health and social care bill, Field said: "We haven't got the time to theorise this any more".
