NHS Confederation 13 June 2018
- This report shows that increases in demand are not restricted to particular parts of the service and specific times of the year. It describes ways in which increasing demand in one part of the system can affect the performance of other NHS services elsewhere, and outlines how services have been adapted to enable patients and service users to access care more efficiently.
- Finally the report calls for regulators to support NHS and social care providers and commissioners in thinking more holistically about how the benefits of local provider and commissioner relationships can be maximised to meet soaring demand.
