Government Takes Action to Support Local Care Systems

 

DHSC has today (Wednesday 14 June) published its response to the Hewitt Review and the recent Health and Social Care Select Committee inquiry into the workings of local health and care systems.

You can find the government response online, Government response to the HSCC report and the Hewitt Review on integrated care systems - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and I will share the press notice with you when published but the top lines are:

  • Government publishes response to reviews on integrated care systems

  • National targets to be reviewed and streamlined to enable local health and care systems to focus on improving the health of local people

  • More effective care systems could help to cut waiting lists
