The case for investment in preventive cost care

The case for investment in preventive cost care


We have had it: pilot-tested, fully lean costed, independently evaluated, and now its cast-iron evidence that investment in preventive social care services is highly cost effective , it more than pays for itself in savings to the NHS .
Indeed as an example for every £1 spent on such services to support older people, hospitals save £1.20 in spending on emergency beds. .

So can we now look forward to a plethora of robust policies from government and local authorities ? I rather think not !
