How to fix Britain’s chronically ill healthcare system:
1/ Shift the dial on demand and shift balance of investment in primary care, community care & #socialcare vs acute hospital care
2/ Invest in diagnostics
3) More capital investment, incl hospital beds

“…Sunak argues that the care cost cap does little to improve the quality of social care or widen access to it. He also fears that using it to claim to have “fixed” social care would rebound on the Tories as they would be blamed for chronic problems in the sector.”

Greater investment is needed in homecare to grow & develop the workforce & innovate, so we can enable people to live well at home, extend healthy life expectancy, reduce inequalities, take pressure off the NHS & reduce costs for the health & care system.
