Politicians must stop their unthinking defence of hospital care
To fulfil the 10-Year Health Plan's vision of a community-centric service, politicians and local leaders will need to align their actions and engage collectively with the communities for whom this mat...

“The principle is simple. Care should happen as locally as it can.”

It’s good to hear this from We Streeting (@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social).👏 Too many terminally ill people are being rushed to hospital in a crisis because they can’t get the care they need at home.

This has to change.
