title: The Health of the Nation 4 years on: what have we done, what must we do?
abstract: The Health of the Nation programme has been running for 4 years. We have made real progress on many of the targets but on a few key ones we appear to be having little impact. The concern is that we are storing up problems for the future. To tackle these, we need a sustained programme of action, and clinicians have an important role to play.
