The NHS Long Term Plan
The Government’s 10-year plan sets out how the additional investment of £20.5bn promised in 2018 will be spent. A number of key areas are in line for a funding boost including the digitalisation of care delivery, access to mental health services and community health services. Spending on out-of-hospital care through general practice and community health services will increase by £4.5bn over the next five years. Older people will be supported through more personalised care and stronger community and primary care services.
Community multidisciplinary teams will work within new primary care networks which will comprise groups of neighbouring GP practices, typically covering 30-50,000 people. Community multidisciplinary teams will be staffed by GPs, pharmacists, district nurses, community geriatricians, dementia workers and AHPs such as physiotherapists and podiatrists/chiropodists. The Plan specifies that primary care networks will be joined by social services and the voluntary sector.
