Do the bosses question how National Health Service It will be able to solve the backlog problem without emergency funds to solve the shortage of social care that prevents patients from being discharged from the hospital.
Dr. Jane Townson, chief executive of the UK Home Care Association (UKHCA), said the proposal announced this week would not “touch the surface of the current labor crisis”.
this government The plan is to increase national insurance next spring to raise an additional £12 billion annually for the NHS and adult social care.
The NHS will receive the majority of the share in the first three years, of which £5.3 billion will be used for social care, and £500 million of this will be used for labor training and recruitment.
Ministers stated that since the cost cap of £86,000, which will take effect in October 2023, begins to require funding, social care will receive more funding after this window.
When asked if she thinks it is possible to transfer funds from the NHS at the end of the three-year window, Dr. Townsend told PA News: “They will never do that, they will not do that.
“They have done a political calculation. The voters… will support anything they think is helpful to the NHS, but you know, without the peripheral services they need, it will be difficult for the NHS to change direction: general practices, regions Nurses, home care workers; need to invest in the entire system to make this work as a whole.
“Just invest money in the emergency hospital-yes, you may be able to perform twice as many new operations, let’s say-but then let people go home and undergo rehabilitation to get them back on their feet, if this doesn’t happen, then we” There is no better, really? “
The Minister of Nursing, Helen Whately, promised that the government will “closely monitor” how the NHS will use the additional funds because of concerns that cash may be swallowed.
The government can say that we will support the NHS to get people out of the hospital, which is all good. Where are you going to unload them?
Jane Brightman, co-founder of the Distinguished Managers Group and Director of Social Care at the Institute of Health and Social Care Management (IHSCM), said the members were “very disappointed and frustrated.”
Last week, PA revealed that more than 200 IHSCM managers had to refuse care requests last month due to insufficient staffing.
The workforce is exhausted, and a manager recently told Ms. Brightman: “I have no ideas for the lack of knitting care staff.”
She said: “The government said,’We will support the NHS to get people out of the hospital.’ This is all good. Where are you going to unload them? There is no capacity. This is a misnomer, a misnomer at all.
“And we know that care packages are being returned, so people who are currently receiving care, they are just being returned.
“This is also terrible. We are going into winter. We know that people will catch the flu. We know that people will fall. They will have more urinary tract infections and various diseases. They need more winter care and nothing. “
