Integrated care systems are the centrepiece of the latest NHS reforms to be formalised on 1 July, but what do they look like?
New @HealthFdn long read explores variation across ICSs - in backlogs, deprivation, workforce, structures... #NHSConfedExpo
https://t.co/0jUkQJS0qG
NEW: Some ICSs have a high concentration of deprivation – nearly 50% of neighbourhoods in some ICSs are in the most deprived fifth of areas nationally.
Our long read explores health inequalities across ICSs and some of the challenges ahead ➡️ https://t.co/JqoqOni9L9
If levelling up is a genuine ambition then MPs need to vote tomorrow to protect people in the north and midlands facing catastrophic care costs. @HealthFdn@TheKingsFund@ctallack@so_says_sally. https://t.co/Wq8A6tEkwY
🚨Vote result : Change to the #SocialCare cap
160-151
Another government defeat. Peers vote for local council support with care costs to count towards a person's total cap on care costs. Will give poorer people protection from catastrophic costs... bt still needs approval of MPs.
The results of today’s NHS Staff Survey are, sadly, not unexpected and signal the urgent need for a workforce strategy, says @TimGardnerTHF

We’re 1 of over 100 health & care organisations to have signed a letter to @BorisJohnson urging him to accept an amendment to the #HealthAndCareBill that will guarantee independent assessments of how many health & social care staff we need now & in future: https://t.co/KdCsRvKOf1
📑 #AssemblyHealth has written to @sajidjavid and @MayorofLondon on how to support London’s NHS workforce.

Recruitment, retention & workload in #generalpractice are challenges across England. But not equally so.
Pleased to share @HealthFdn research with @CommonsHealth setting out the degree of inequity in the provision of general practice.
"We've reached a pretty absurd and extraordinary position where the NHS is saying we need this long-term workforce plan to maximise taxpayer value for money but @hmtreasury is stopping us from doing so".
Strong words from @NHSProviders @ChrisCEOHopson
at @CommonsHealth today.
Lots of talk about GP activity recently but not all of it reflects the evidence.
We’ve pulled together a new primer on:
- What latest data says about general practice activity
- What it can’t tell us
- What’s going on with GP numbers

🧵👇
Public now have #workload and number of staff as key issue for #nhs - historically these were behind money - not any more #nhs - one for @Jeremy_Hunt via @HealthFdn
Failure to provide #GeneralPractice based on people’s needs will likely widen disparities further.
If govt is serious about levelling up then tackling the #InverseCareLaw must be a core policy objective.

Our @HealthFdn research out today @BecksFisher in @Independent “Ministers to act as GPs in poor areas ‘have less funding and staff’ - thanks to @Rebeccasmt for covering this https://t.co/qCbDWXg2j5
General practice in deprived areas is relatively underfunded and under-doctored
How should the #inversecarelaw be tackled?
We've looked at 30 years of efforts in England, to work out what works, what doesn't & what to do next.

Merging national health agencies (https://t.co/oxmbR0J5WF) will not fix workforce shortages. The NHS and social care both need long-term workforce strategies, supported by multi-year investment. They currently have neither (1/2)
Vote expected 4.30pm Tuesday 23 Nov 👀
@TheKingsFund, 60+ other health and care organisations and 38 MPs are backing this amendment. If passed, it will encourage more long term workforce planning and help avoid crises coming down the track.
