  7. London Healthcare “A Framework for Action” 1/ Services focused on individual needs and choices Provision should, wherever possible, be tailored to the particular needs of each individual. Patients should feel in control of their care and be able to make informed choices.

  8. London Healthcare “A Framework for Action” 2/ Localise where possible, centralise where necessary Routine healthcare should take place as close to home as possible. More complex care should be centralised to ensure it is carried out by the most skilled professionals with the most cutting edge technology.

  9. London Healthcare “A Framework for Action” 3 (a) Truly integrated care and partnership working, maximising the contribution of the entire workforce. Better communication and co-operation is needed – between urgent and planned care, between health and social care – to stop people from falling through the gaps.

  10. London Healthcare “A Framework for Action” 3(b)Truly integrated care and partnership working, maximising the contribution of the entire workforce. Care should be multidisciplinary bringing together the valuable contributions of practitioners from different disciplines. The NHS should be committed to working in partnership with other organisations, including local government and the voluntary and private sectors.

  11. London Healthcare “A Framework for Action” 4/ Prevention is better than cure. Health improvement, including proactive care for people with long-term conditions, should be embedded in everything the NHS does. Close working with local authority partners is needed to help people stay mentally and physically healthy.

  12. London Healthcare “A Framework for Action” 5/ A focus on health inequalities and diversity. ….., the most deprived areas of London, with the greatest health needs, need better access to high-quality healthcare.

  13. London Healthcare “A Framework for Action” The NHS has often made the mistake of thinking it can change healthcare on its own. It cannot. Partnerships to improve health. The NHS has often made the mistake of thinking it can change healthcare outcomes on its own. It cannot. The NHS must work with its partners – the London boroughs, the Greater London Authority and the Mayor’s Office, the voluntary and private sectors, and the higher education sector – to implement this Framework.

  19. GP workforce in WA BEACH data suggest that in the 12 months 2001–02, people in Australia spent on average 83 minutes with a GP per head of population. This compares with about 56 minutes per head in New Zealand and about 30 minutes in the United States during the same period. The extent to which this affects health outcomes for the populations is as yet unclear. However, considering this high use of general practice care, information about the problems dealt with and how they are managed by GPs is essential.
