The Government has announced further funding of £200 million to boost resilience in the NHS and help patients get the care they need as quickly as possible this winter.
Alongside this, £40 million is being invested to improve social care capacity, strengthen admissions avoidance services and boost discharge rates, targeting the areas with the greatest urgent and emergency care challenges.
The new funding comes after the Prime Minister and Health Secretary met clinical experts, NHS chiefs and social care leaders from across the sector, including our Chief Executive Dr Jane Townson OBE, to drive forward planning to ease pressures in urgent and emergency care this winter.
