With a treatment backlog of around five million appointments, a host of ideas will now be tried and those that work will form a blueprint for the post-Covid NHS.

Virtual wards will see patients discharged earlier and given after care from medics online or over the phone. Pop-up clinics will see patients seen and discharged closer to home.
