"The vision of this NHS Plan is to offer people fast and convenient care delivered to a consistently high standard. Services will be available when people require them, tailored to their individual needs."

"Routine screening will be extended to cover more conditions. The action patients need to take to minimise the risks to their health - which may have been identified using conventional tests or the new genetic tests that will be increasingly available - will be discussed and agreed with GPs and nurses."

"The frontline in healthcare is the home. Most healthcare starts with people looking after themselves and their families at home. The NHS will become a resource which people routinely use every day to help look after themselves."

"And professional training will have much more emphasis on supporting self-care, particularly to help people manage chronic conditions."
