Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: " By expanding the care provided in the community, The Most vulnerable, frail and elderly patients can be better supported to continue living independently or recover At Home . "
Nhs England chief executive Amanda Pritchard said The Plan was to build on initiatives introduced this winter.
" Boosting care in the community and treating more people At Home is key to recovery, " She Said . " It is better for patients and their families, as well as easing pressure on NHS services. "
