Description

Can we "prescribe" our way out of a national health crisis?

In this episode, former Health Ministers James Bethell and Steve Brine are joined by Charlotte Refsum (Head of Health at the Tony Blair Institute) to dissect the week's biggest headlines in health policy.

In this episode:

• The Tobacco & Vapes Bill: Why 74 Tories voted against the generational smoking ban.
• The "Fat Jab" Debate: Should GPs be paid to prescribe GLP-1s, or is there a better way?
• National Security: Why "Vaccine Sovereignty" is as important as energy or food security.
• NHS Tech: Why the NHS App feels like it’s built for the system, not the patient.
