How the new NHS 10-year plan affects YOU – from fat jab roll outs to banishing the 8am GP scramble and AI docs
It comes as Wes told The Sun Britain will be 'fat free' within a decade with more people given access to weight loss jabs HEALTH CHECK How the new NHS 10-year plan affects YOU – from fat jab roll outs to banishing the 8am GP scramble and AI docs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITS are about to see their beloved NHS transformed into the 'Neighbourhood Health Service' as part of the Government's long-awaited 10-Year Plan today. Ministers will vow to keep millions of Brits in England out of hospital and help them on their doorsteps before they fall seriously ill. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Millions of patients will be treated closer to home under plans to 'fundamentally rewire' the NHS in England Credit: Getty Images - Getty 2 Sir Keir Starmer said the NHS needed to 'reform or die' Credit: AFP The future will revolve around local health centres open six days a week outside of hospitals and GP practices. People will be offered help from doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and even job advisers in the community. Services will vary locally, with some areas sending teams door-to-door to reach vulnerable and hard-to-reach patients. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Health Secretary Wes Streeting want to end 'perpetual firefighting' in hospitals that are buckling under the demand. The plan promises thousands more doctors, widespread use of technology and AI, and extra help with mental health, job advice and weight loss. It comes as Wes told The Sun Britain will be 'fat free' within a decade with more people given access to weight loss jabs PM Sir Keir said: 'It's reform or die. 'Our 10 Year Health Plan will fundamentally rewire and future-proof our NHS so that it puts care on people's doorsteps, harnesses game-changing tech and prevents illness in the first place.' The Government wants to move the focus of the NHS away from hospitals, which have become overloaded. Since 2011, waiting lists have ballooned from 2.5million to 7.5m. Wes Streeting brutally slams Kemi AND Farage and demands Tories say sorry for how they ran the NHS in blistering attack The rate of four-hour A&E waits increased to 40 per cent from less than 10 per cent, and around three in 10 cancer patients wait two months or more for treatment, up from closer to one in 10. Public satisfaction with the NHS has slumped to a record low of 21 per cent. Ministers said that by 2035 the majority of non-emergency care will take place outside of hospitals. People will be able to get scans and tests, straightforward treatments, check-ups and broader life help from the neighbourhood clinics. Local hubs may also dish out debt advice and job support, ministers say. The Government has vowed to fix staff problems by hiring more doctors, encouraging UK medical training and rewriting doctor contracts to improve funding. What's changing in the NHS? A massive overhaul will shift care closer to home and ease pressure on packed hospitals. Here's what the new 'Neighbourhood Health Service' means for you: 200 new Neighbourhood Health Centres open 12 hours a day, 6 days a week Centres staffed by nurses, GPs, paramedics, pharmacists, health visitors, rehab teams, and more Clinics may go door-to-door to find illness early Most care outside hospitals in homes, pharmacies, GP surgeries, and health centres NHS app upgraded with AI doctors to answer questions, book appointments, take notes, and write letters More doctors, nurses, and dentists trained and recruited in the UK Dental graduates must work in the NHS for at least 3 years before going private More cash will be funnelled into working-class areas in a bid to shrink the health gap between rich and poor. Wes Streeting is dismantling time-wasting quangos to cut paperwork, save money and speed up changes to the health service. He has called for 'more doers and fewer checkers' and his department is dissolving the NHS headquarters to take supreme control of local health boards. And the NHS app will be turbocharged so patients can book their appointments, check waiting times, quiz an AI doctor or send questions to real medics via their smartphones. 'Makes the NHS simpler' The Health Secretary said: 'Our plan will turn the NHS on its head. 'By shifting from hospital to community, we will finally bring down devastating hospital waiting lists and stop patients going from pillar to post to get treated.' Daniel Elkeles, chief of NHS Providers which represents hospital bosses, said: 'This is a win for patients who will be better informed and empowered to direct their care as never before. 'It makes the NHS simpler, ensuring quicker decisions and innovations getting to frontline services faster. 'This is a recipe that offers the prospect of progress where previous plans have faltered.' Finance experts warn the plans will be costly – but the PM and Health Secretary refuse to pump endless cash into the NHS without results. Many parts of the plan already happen in some areas but need to be rolled out nationally. Others have been promised in previous schemes, such as 2019's Long-Term Plan, but failed due to a lack of money or time. A 'castle built on sand' Sarah Woolnough, chief of the King's Fund think-tank, said: 'There is plenty to welcome but the public will want to know why it will be different this time. 'Unlike previous plans, this plan will not come with promises of significantly more funding or staff. 'We won't necessarily feel the changes tomorrow or even next year, but if the NHS and its staff are given the support, resources and political cover to deliver the changes the plan proposes, the health system could feel very different in five to 10 years' time.' The Government have said the cash to pay for the new service will come from the £29bn boost to NHS funding announced in the last Budget. The Conservative MP and shadow health secretary Edward Argar said the NHS needed "reform, not just more cash" and warned that Labour's plan had to be "real and deliverable for patients". Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said the whole 10-year NHS strategy would be a "castle built on sand" unless ministers tackled what he described as a "crisis in social care".

Want to leave New York for Bengaluru: 'Am I a loser?' asks Reddit user after living 4.5 years with cultural shock abroad
A Reddit user who has spent the last 4.5 years living in Sydney and New York expressed a deep sense of alienation and disconnection from Western culture, particularly in terms of dating, friendships, and everyday interactions. In a candid post, he questioned whether returning to India—specifically Bengaluru—would make him a "loser." The post triggered a wave of responses, with some encouraging him to follow his instincts while others warned that Indian cities have also adopted similar superficial trends. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Feeling Out of Place in Western Culture 'You Are Not a Loser'—Reddit Weighs In Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Critics Say Grass Isn't Greener Anywhere In an increasingly globalised world, many Indians who move abroad in search of better opportunities often find themselves facing a deeper question over time — where do they truly belong? The promise of life in the West can come with unexpected emotional and cultural costs, leading some to reconsider the value of home. A recent Reddit post by an Indian highlights this internal conflict, as the user, after spending years in Sydney and New York, wonders whether returning to Bengaluru would be a step backward — or a step toward feeling whole user, who lived in Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru before moving abroad, shared a deeply personal account of feeling out of place in the West, despite the career and lifestyle benefits it offered. The post, titled 'Am I a loser if I wanna return to India?', opened the door for a wide-ranging discussion about identity, culture shock, loneliness, and whether returning home should be seen as original poster, who spent 1.5 years in Sydney and another three in New York City, explained that despite professional growth, there remained a persistent sense of disconnection. Conversations with non-Indians often left him feeling isolated. The casualness of Western friendships, the individualism, and a focus on appearance felt superficial and unfamiliar. Reflecting on his upbringing in India, the user shared how his school and college years were driven by academic pressure, not socializing, partying, or dating — making the Western lifestyle feel alienating rather than in particular, was a cultural clash. The poster pointed out that the norm of having multiple sexual partners by one's mid-20s, commonly accepted in the U.S., felt jarring. Compared to India, where dating still remains limited to certain urban circles, he found the attitudes abroad were quick to respond with mixed, often passionate, opinions. Many users reassured him that choosing to return doesn't make him a failure. One user encouraged him to follow his instincts and prioritize his happiness. Others reminded him, however, that Indian society is rapidly changing too — especially in tier-1 and tier-2 cities. Several noted that hookup culture, dating apps, and social superficiality are no longer unique to the commenters urged caution. A few pointed out that he might feel alienated in India as well, given the ongoing cultural shift. Others suggested a trial return before making a full move, especially since work-from-home wasn't an option for him. A proposed transfer to a Bengaluru office within six months seemed like a practical path everyone was sympathetic. Some accused the poster of chasing a fantasy, suggesting he was disillusioned with both worlds. One commenter remarked that people in India are also caught in a rat race and obsessed with Western ideals. Another criticized the notion of returning after 'abandoning' India in pursuit of a better life, while some NRIs confessed they too were tired of the West and longed for the cultural familiarity of home.A few Reddit users took a more cynical tone. They claimed India, too, has adopted superficial values and casual relationships, warning that returning wouldn't resolve the poster's deeper discontent. Others advised him not to return unless his quality of life, salary, and career prospects could remain personal experiences, many saw the post as emblematic of a broader identity crisis among NRIs. Some users noted that modern society—regardless of location—often emphasizes individualism over meaningful human connection. As one Redditor put it, the user's struggle wasn't about geography but about reconciling internal values with external realities.

Stealth frigate Tamal to be inducted into Indian Navy on July 1
New Delhi, June 22 (UNI) The Indian Navy is all set to commission its latest stealth multi-role frigate, 'Tamal', at Kaliningrad in Russia on July one. Tamal is the eighth in the series of Krivak class frigates inducted from Russia over the past two decades. It is the second ship of the Tushil Class, which are the upgraded versions of their predecessors, Talwar and Teg classes having three ships each, an official statement said here on Sunday. The ship has 26 percent indigenous components, including the BrahMos long-range cruise missile for targeting both at sea and land. The ship has significant upgrades in its arsenal in comparison to its predecessors, such as vertically launched surface-to-air missiles, improved 100 MM gun, new age EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infrared) system in addition to the standard 30 MM CIWS (close-in weapon system), heavyweight torpedoes, urgent-attack anti-submarine rockets, and a host of surveillance and fire control radars and systems. India as part of the broader contract for Tushil class is also building two similar frigates, called the Triput class, at Goa Shipyard Limited with transfer of technology and design assistance from the Russian side. By the conclusion of this series of ships, Indian Navy will be operating 10 ships with similar capabilities and commonality in equipment, weapon and sensor fit over four different classes. Tamal has been built at Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad, Russia, and is the last warship to be inducted from a foreign source, in line with the Government of India's impetus on Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives. The crew, comprising of over 250 personnel, have undergone rigorous ashore as well as afloat training in extremely challenging winter conditions of St Petersburg and Kaliningrad, Russia. Tamal has successively completed extensive sea trials undertaken over three months, proving its systems, weapons and sensors. The ship's name, Tamal, symbolises the mythical sword used for combat by Indra - the King of the gods. The ship's mascot is inspired by the congruence of the 'Jambavant' the immortal bear king of Indian mythology and the Russian national animal - the Eurasian Brown Bear. The ship's crew collectively takes great pride in calling themselves the 'The Great Bears'. Tamal stands as a testament to the longstanding Indo-Russian cooperation and friendship which has stood the test of time. The ship's motto, 'Sarvada Sarvatra Vijaya' (Victorious Always Everytime) signifies the Indian Navy's undying commitment to operational excellence in every mission, complementing its motto 'Combat Ready, Credible, Cohesive and Future Ready Force Safeguarding National Maritime Interests – Anytime, Anywhere'. The 125 metre long, 3900-ton warship, packs a lethal punch. Tamal is an impressive blend of Indian and Russian cutting-edge technologies and best practices in warship construction. Upon commissioning, Tamal will join the 'Sword Arm' of the Indian Navy, the Western Fleet, under the Western Naval Command. It will not only be a symbol of Indian Navy's growing capabilities but also exemplifying collaborative strength of the India-Russia partnership. UNI RBE SS

EU accuses China's AliExpress of ‘systemic failure' over illegal goods
The European Commission has accused the online retailer AliExpress of a 'systemic failure' to prevent the sale of illegal and dangerous goods on its platform, as Brussels steps up its case against the Chinese company. Issuing formal findings of an investigation launched in March last year, EU regulators said on Wednesday that AliExpress was failing to do enough to prevent the sale of counterfeit clothes and dangerous children's toys, among other items. The company, which claims 104 million monthly users in the EU, did not devote enough resources to content moderation to take down illegal goods on sale on its platform, regulators said. An EU official said the company – which is owned by Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce group founded by the Chinese billionaire Jack Ma – had 'underestimated the general risk of the sale of illegal products'. The official added: 'General measures they have in place to avoid the dissemination of illegal products do not work properly – it shows a systemic failure.' The European Commission said these were preliminary findings, pending further investigation and responses from AliExpress. If EU officials uphold the verdict, the company can in theory be fined up to 6% of global turnover under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA). 'Hidden links' AliExpress has, however, persuaded EU regulators to close aspects of their investigation, by pledging to take action to tackle 'hidden links' that take users to an illegal product via a legitimate one. The online marketplace promised to develop a system to monitor and detect hidden links to illegal products, such as food supplements and medicines, which have been offered for sale via legitimate items. Such hidden links were also said to have taken children to pornographic material. AliExpress also promised greater transparency over its advertising systems and availability of its data to researchers, which Brussels said addressed concerns in these areas. The European Commission described the commitments as 'legally binding' and said AliExpress could face fines if it failed to follow through. The investigation comes under the DSA, which is intended to protect people from online harms such as disinformation, illegal content and dangerous products. The act imposes the strictest requirements on the largest companies with more than 45 million users, including Amazon, Google, Meta and X. AliExpress response AliExpress said it had 'proactively engaged and closely collaborated with the European Commission throughout this process' and would continue to do so. 'The commission has recognised our committed approach to ensure a high level of consumer protection and transparency through the breadth and depth of these voluntary commitments offered and agreed,' it said. 'We are confident that a positive and compliant result will be achieved through continuing our mutual dialogue with the commission to address any remaining concerns on the DSA.'
