The Health Secretary has been consulting medical staff and members of the public on what should be included in a “10-year plan” to overhaul the health service.
Streeting said that technology including artificial intelligence would be a key part of helping individuals receive personalised support which would make the service more productive and ease pressure on the major bottlenecks.
“So if you are someone who tends to be younger, fitter, healthier you probably won’t need to see the same GP every time you are going in for something.
He stressed that personalised medicine should have “universal and consistent” high standards but it would result in “different courses for different horses”.
Streeting has promised to get waiting lists down with the help of a multi-billion-pound cash injection, but also to reform how the healthcare system works so that it does not continue to suck up more and more money without providing a better standard of care.
But Streeting told The i Paper: “The 10-year plan can’t just be about reform of the NHS, it’s got to be about our whole approach to health.
As well as shifting more care from hospitals to the community and making more use of technology, the project is intended to spread the best examples of innovative practices around the country as a whole.
Duncan Barton, the chief nursing officer for England, insisted that NHS staff were keen to help drive change.
He said: “What we have to do is make their lives that little bit easier so they can do the things that they are great at, including innovating and finding new ways to care for people.”
