The NHS is waking to the challenge of chronic conditions

In its improvement plan launched in June 2004, the United Kingdom's national health service outlined the importance of supporting the increasing number of people with long term conditions and minimising the impact of these on their lives. On page 657, Wilson and colleagues discuss whether the NHS is rising to this challenge. They look at how system changes affect people with chronic conditions, and at what problems might arise if these changes are not properly applied or regulated.
