Impact of Waiting Times on Community Health Services
Community services are under growing strain, with over 1.1 million people waiting for care, and the steepest rise among children and young people.
The UK government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England has three big shifts at its core: hospital to community, analogue to digital and sickness to prevention.
Central to the first of these is a commitment to a ‘neighbourhood health service’ that will bring together professionals and provide integrated care in local communities.
Addressing the pressures on community services will be essential to avoid worsening inequalities and make the 'hospital to community' shift a reality.
