The Homecare Association has submitted its response to the NHS 10-Year Plan consultation.
A quarter of us will be 65 or older in 25 years. Our health and care system is not coping now. To meet this challenge, we must transform how we fund, provide, and ensure access to care. Early support and preventative approaches in the community will help to shift the dial on demand. We must harness the power of innovation while cherishing the irreplaceable human elements of hands-on care. With smart strategies, collaboration, and investment, we can build a future where more of us remain healthy for longer.
We highlight key areas of focus, including:
- Addressing the financial deficit in social care
- Fair funding that enables care providers to deliver complex care
- Enabling hospital discharge in partnership
- Enabling care workers to better support preventative care in the community
- Recognising the health care responsibilities of care workers
- Digital Integration and Information Sharing
