Civil Society and Primary Care: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will take steps to reallocate funding from acute care to (a) primary care and (b) the third-sector.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
In spring, we will publish a 10-Year Health Plan, which will set out a bold agenda to deliver on the three big shifts needed, to move healthcare from hospitals to the community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention. This is a long-term challenge and will take time to deliver, and so the plan will consider both what immediate actions are needed to get the National Health Service back on its feet and bring waiting lists down, as well as the longer-term changes needed to make the health service fit for the future.
