"Waiting lists are symptoms of a problem. The solution is properly resourcing general practice to reduce pressure on the wider NHS. Every £1 spent in primary care saves £3 in hospital costs & £14 in the wider economy. Good for patients, NHS & the taxpayer." - @ChristmasRowena

Care in the community by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists are vital and important services. We're investing in their skills with an extra £5m of recurrent funding to develop the services so that they can help even more patients. 👇

Well done @lauraingham1 for this excellent collaborative work & publication. Essential reading for any OT teams developing services in primary care 💚 @theRCOT
