More patients to be treated by NHS staff at home
NHS Confederation: Hospital-based care ‘must change’
The NHS in England must end the “hospital-or-bust” attitude to medical care, says the body representing health service trusts.
At least one in four patients would be better off being treated by NHS staff at home, figures suggest.
Carers to get legal rights and support in reforms
Carers are to be given legal rights under government plans to increase the assistance available to the six million Britons who look after other people.
Ministers want to ensure that carers are given support to continue working or studying and to receive time off.
The rights of carers are expected to be put on the same legal footing as those of the people they look after.
There are estimated to be about six million people caring for husbands, wives, children, parents or neighbours, but the Government admits that “many do not get the emotional, financial and practical support they need”.
