Older people let down by NHS primary care services
NHS primary health care services are still letting older people down, even though they are the main adult users of the NHS, according to a new report out by Age Concern.
Many primary care health services like chiropody and basic foot care have been drastically cut over the years by Primary Care Trusts across the country as a way of slashing budgets to save money.
The report ‘Primary Concerns’ highlights the fact that older people use GP practice services more than younger adults; however nearly one in five 65-74 year olds are still experiencing difficulties in getting an appointment to see their GP or practice nurse.
