In such a tough financial climate, we welcome the Chancellor’s decision to prioritise the NHS with record levels of capital investment. This will help us repair and modernise facilities and roll out tech to boost productivity, benefiting patients and taxpayer in the long term.

Today our Acute Medical team are launching a new model of care which will increase capacity within Acute Medicine.
A key part of the model is direct access for patients who've already been assessed by a GP, meaning they will be assessed and treated by the right team earlier on.

In our new long read, we outline seven key areas for action that we believe the government's forthcoming 10-year health plan should prioritise to ensure the #NHS can better tackle #HealthInequalities. See our seven priorities below – and read more here: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and…
ALT A graphic entitled, 'Tackling health inequalities: seven priorities for the NHS'. The text reads: 1. Develop a cross-government health inequalities strategy for the 10-year health plan to feed into. 2. Reorientate the NHS to focus on prevention. 3. Radically change the relationships the NHS has with people and communities, from ‘power over’ to ‘power with’. 4. Tackle racism and discrimination in the NHS and cultivate a culture of compassion. 5. Enable staff to identify and act on health inequalities and capture learning. 6. Empower place-based partnerships to take more decisions about how NHS money is spent. 7. Actively support local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations through changes in financial planning and commissioning.

Temporary Accommodation (TA) is estimated to cost GM £75m a year
5,649 households (71% increase in past 4 years) & 7,679 children are now tragically living in TA
Not having a stable, decent & safe place to call home needs our urgent collective attention!
