Working-class communities, rural areas and coastal towns to receive extra NHS funding
- Health Secretary Wes Streeting will announce today in Blackpool that over £2 billion saved from NHS waste will be redirected to working-class, rural, and coastal communities.
- This change in funding comes as part of initiatives to eliminate unnecessary NHS expenditure, accompanied by intentions to reassess the allocation and contractual arrangements for GPs to guarantee that disadvantaged communities obtain a more equitable share of resources.
- GP practices in deprived areas face heavier workloads, caring for nearly 2,500 patients each compared to about 2,100 in affluent areas, highlighting funding imbalances and health inequalities.
- Mr. Streeting will highlight that individuals living in the most disadvantaged areas frequently experience lower standards of healthcare and will emphasize the plan’s key goal to eliminate regional disparities and uphold the NHS’s commitment to providing high-quality care for all.
- The redirected funds and planned reviews aim to address long-standing neglect in poorer communities and support NHS trusts operating under financial and operational pressures.
