The Health Hotel is a collaboration of health organisations who come together during the party conference season to hold fringes and events and raise the profile of health issues with the political parties.
The NHS Confederation chaired The Health Hotel during its first two years and remains a member. The Health Hotel coordinated activities of dozens of health-related organisations since the 2004 party conference and is currently planning activities for 2007.

We support the conclusion of the Healthcare Commission’s report that the NHS has made real progress in tackling hospital ‘superbugs’.
The Euro Consumer Health Index should carry its own health warning pointing out that anything but the broadest comparison using their figures is meaningless.
The change to the rules on paying for private care announced by the Health Secretary Alan Johnson is a welcome move to address an issue that threatened to seriously undermine confidence in the NHS says the NHS Confederation.
These figures are really encouraging and show what the NHS can achieve given a period of stability.
