. Last week, New Zealand broke new ground by avoiding GDP in favour of wellbeing as a guiding indicator when tting budgets and asssing government policy. It's a radical step in the right direction that the UK should learn from by adopting a broader range of indicators when deciding how to spend money.
In the past, an undue focus on GDP has allowed governments to claim economic victory while ignoring what is going on under the hood. George Osborne famously ud rising GDP to claim the "sun was shining on Britain", while at the same time most of the population saw their living standards stagnate or fall, and austerity measures picked up pace. An economy with wellbeing at its heart would make it much harder to make such claims, and harder to enforce a policy such as austerity again.

Instead, it treats growth as one of a number of potential means to achieve the goals we want from our economy—whether a healthy population or a clean environment. Growth should be en as a tool that can take us in multiple different directions depending on what society choos to value.
Government departments do have their own goals outside of economic output, but GDP growth remains the primary objective across government. Many of the problems of our age **plex and multifaceted and will not be solved in the silos of single government departments.

Yet responsibility rests with the Department of Health and Social Care alone. Changing indicators will help **plicated issues such as health inequalities everyone's business.
