Supporting people in their communities: Reducing unnecessary hospital admissions

No

Here is the reality… the NHS deals with over 1 million patients every 36 hours.*

There were 16.252m total hospital admissions in 2015/16, 28% more than a decade earlier (12.679m).

The UK population is projected to increase from an estimated 64.6 million in mid-2014 to 69.0 million by 2024 and 72.7 million by 2034, these numbers are likely to increase year on year.*

This is a huge demand on our health services and is not sustainable.
