Successive Health Secretaries have looked to extending Hospital at Home services to ease congestion at hospital front doors and prevent ambulances queuing up outside for hours at a time. There will also be staff cuts and reductions in service to first responder services, the care home nursing team, psychology, learning disability, sexual health and adult mental health among others which will have a devastating effect on those who use them.
And it admits: “The cessation of this service will result in an additional 15 patients requiring inpatient hospital care routinely.” “Cutting a service that is proven to work will mean that more pressure will be heaped on to our hospitals which are already at breaking point.
