The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients in (a) Buckinghamshire and (b) Milton Keynes have received home-based NHS care in each of the last three years.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

NHS England does not hold data on the number of patients in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes who have received home-based National Health Service care in each of the last three years.

The NHS provides a range of services in peoples’ homes such as community health services, virtual wards, community mental health support, and palliative care.

The 10-Year Health Plan sets out our vision for a Neighbourhood Health Service.

The Neighbourhood Health Service will embody our new preventative principle that care should happen as locally as it can, digitally by default, in a person’s home if possible, in a neighbourhood health centre when needed, and only in a hospital if necessary.
