Part of the debate – in the House of Lords am 3:00 pm ar 28 Ionawr 2025.
I am aware of the reports that my noble friend refers to. This is a new service; it needs to bed in. NHSE is working closely with ICBs, GPs and the community pharmacy sector to improve referrals. Funding has also been provided to ICBs for primary care network engagement leads, who should be well placed to support GP teams to refer into the service. We are aware of my noble friend’s point; we are acting on it and we will continue to keep it under review.
