Prevention or treatment?

What do you think the balance should be for the NHS between helping people stay well verses treating them when they become ill? (currently it is much more focussed on treating people).

Related questions:

  • What are the most important health issues for the NHS to tackle? E.g. obesity, smoking, alcohol? Why?
  • What role should the NHS have in tackling these?
  • What role should others have e.g. individual, government, schools, families, other orgs?
  • Should the government intervene more in these issues?
  • Should legislation like the smoking ban be brought in to tackle obesity and alcohol? What could be done?
