NEW On funding, Andy Burnham says it is possible to do more within current budgets - "I mentioned people coming into hospital and long stays" Says the NHS loses "several billions pounds a year" to unnecessary / extended hospital stays

Burnham says principles from Casey include 'home care wherever possible' Questions of what it covers and what is funded are for Casey's review

Burnham - We will have independent Casey review a year from now (brought forward from 2028) Care has to be very integrated, preventative and person-centreree

Burnham: Social care doesn't live in its own silo - it's intrinsically linked to the NHS There is no way we can restore the NHS to the standards we'd want to see without reforming social care

Andy B: it's a major dereliction of duty that parliament has not cracked care Says gaps in care often lead to people calling 999 - once that's done it's very difficult to prevent admission of frail person, they are sucked in

Louise Casey: some of our asks to improve care will be modest and some will be less modest Says "we can do difficult"

Yvette Cooper speaking in north London before Andy Burnham says "We cannot keep walking around this problem" - argues it was 50 years ago Barbara Castle first sought to integrate health and social care

Trailer tonight for Andy Burnham social care speech tomorrow No10 again emphasises the link with NHS pressures - the Notes claim "cuts to social care funding between 2010 and 2018 led to an estimated additional half a million A&E attendances a year for people aged 65 and over".

A positive + not insubstantial step on care reform Interesting also to see the official PR include range of comments that also point out the change relies on other big decisions - funding to pay for pay increases, and something to enforce them t.co/mp7vm4xwWW

The Streeting legacy - Health Bill bang on 200 pages just dropped on Parliament publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbi...

Some irony in Healthwatch England's findings being cited in the case for the government's proposed NHS Modernisation Bill - the bill that will also scrap HWE

New ICB chairs in South Yorkshire and Greater Manchester will for the first time report to their elected Mayors (as health commissioners), as well as to NHS England/SofS on their NHS responsibilities. Could make for an interesting dynamic

Co-chairs named for DHSC advisory group on frailty & dementia MSF , including @jkdhesi.bsky.social & neighbourhood health guidance is expected to (finally) land this week I understand The centre has been slow on integrated care policy lately, but they're some small steps forward...

DHSC declining to confirm a Phase 2 for the neighbourhood implementation programme In reply to a Parliamentary question from @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social

Don’t blame the government – NHS ‘conservatism’ is holding back change stark piece on HSJ today from @joemcmanners.bsky.social - about the stalling of 'neighbourhood health' & associated agenda to shift power and resource to the community www.hsj.co.uk/service-rede...

Don’t blame the government – NHS ‘conservatism’ is holding back changeNeighbourhood health has momentum and support, but without structural reform to funding and authority, the NHS risks slow implementationwww.hsj.co.uk

Details of public health grants to councils were published yesterday (we're shifting treatment to prevention, remember) But they appear to confirm my story from December that the grant will be held flat in real terms / eroded over the next three years. (lnkd.in/eXQx3Jbb)
