The NHS Is Celebrating its 75th Year
If you work in the sector of homecare then you will be glad to know that the industry, that also supports private nursing and those who offer bespoke care packages, is now celebrating its 75th anniversary. This is going to benefit social workers as well as those who work in mental health. It would seem that 75 years ago, the National Health Service was formed, and this helped to make healthcare free for anyone. It would also be free as well, which is great to say the least. The new system is designed to try and make sure that those who need healthcare would not be discriminated against because of their age or their income. At the same time, you also had the National Assistance Act. This slid into statute. The act, at the end of the day, helped to form this social care system. It is fully designed to protect those who are in need, and this is great to say the least. From the very start, the NHS and those who work in tandem with it are trying to meet people’s needs. There is a huge demand for healthcare, and it seems that people are being delayed in their discharge from hospital. This has led to an even higher response time and it would seem that there are also growing wait times for the diagnosis and treatment of those who may need it. The government is now being called upon so that people can keep on investing in social care as well as ensuring that it is possible to grow and develop the workforce. Of course, only time will tell what is going to happen but the tech that is being released right now would greatly benefit the NHS. It is an unfortunate reality that the sector cannot afford it.
