Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) -
This report examines the state of the state by focussing on the challenges facing the NHS, schools, and the justice system in the UK, which the next government will need to address, and sets out a plan for progress. It suggests that even if the next government matched previous rates of improvement, it would take nearly ten years to recover levels of access in the NHS, up to seven years to return to our previous performance on the education attainment gap and a decade to clear the courts backlog.
