This analysis on @telegraph front page is fundamentally flawed.

It compares death counts in 2023 with the 2015-19 average, concluding that there have been 53,000 excess deaths.

But around half of that is explained by the ageing population which means deaths increase each year.

Hospital at Home, Enhanced Health in Care Homes this guidance joins a mesh of services to promote wellbeing and respond to ill-health.
Essential that these components aren't separate silos but connect, share data, and ensure that as needs change responses change in a timely way.

Thank you Diane Coyle for reiterating what some of us have been saying for some time: the NHS is too hierarchical. Its culture must shift to empower staff to to deliver improvements in care thru delayering and more agile decision making health.org.uk/publications/r…

Spoiler - govt choices since 2010 on NHS funding and how it should be used. Predictable outcome that was predicted and could have been avoided if political leaders had intervened on NHS, social care and public health. Too much focus on hospitals + neglect of community services
