The new health secretary, Therese Coffey, says her plan for the NHS in England will have an "ABCD" focus – ambulances, backlogs, (social) care, and doctors and dentists.
She's due to outline more details of her proposals as parliamentary business returns.
The NHS in England is currently recording poor performance on almost all measures it can be assessed on – including targets for A&E, routine operations and cancer.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Dr Latifa Patel from the British Medical Association about problems with staffing, and to virologist Julian Tang about planning for winter pressures. Plus, nurse Jodie explains how staff are feeling, and Sky News' health correspondent Ashish Joshi explains some of the challenges the new secretary of state will face.
