Health workers to go door-to-door under new NHS plans to tackle sickness rates across England

Health workers will be sent from door to door under drastic new NHS plans to tackle disease rates across England, according to reports.

A community health professional is allocated 120 houses to visit each month to see if help is needed among plans to be rolled out in June, The Daily Telegraph Reports.

Wes Streeting, health secretary, said the trials of the scheme showed “encouraging signs” to reduce the number of heavy NHS users that he called “regular straw perps” of A&E divisions.

A pilot scheme in Westminster, London, showed a 10 percent dramatic drop in hospital recordings over a year, reports the Daily Telegraph.

“We see some encouraging signs of what can happen if you have the right care in the right place at the right time,” Mr Streeting said.

The scheme, which will be rolled out in 25 parts of England, is part of Mr Streeting’s ten year plan for the NHS, which can also see younger people with the NHS app to pharmacy, and GPS can devote their time to sicker and older patients.

The health secretary said that a modernized version of the telephone app of the health service could mean that the NHS can “do a much better and faster job to make sure patients get the right care at the right place”.

Did he say the i Newspaper: “If you are someone who tends to be younger, fitter, healthier, you probably don’t have to see the same GP every time you want to do something.”

In March, it was announced that NHS England would be abolished and that the service would be brought under the control of ministers.

The changes were a reversal of a 2012 rise of the NHS under the conservative-liberal democratic coalition, which, according to the government, created ‘troublesome’ layers of bureaucracy without any clear accountability.

The plan will focus on the “three shifts” needed, including moving NHS services to more community-based care, which prevents people from getting sick in the first place and better use of digital technology.

Mr. Streeting also reiterated his belief that the NHS “is not just about money”.

He said that “you cannot just keep pouring what the amount of taxpayers apply in a non -set system can provide the best use of the money and the best care of patients, and therefore the system must change”.
