As part of our work tracking, analysing and commentating on the changes and challenges facing the NHS, The King’s Fund published its first Quarterly Monitoring Report in April 2011. Just
over a year on, this fifth report aims to take stock of what has happened over the past year – the first year of the £20 billion productivity challenge for the NHS – and provide an update on how the NHS is coping as it continues to grapple with this challenge and implement the government’s NHS reforms.
