We encourage all GP practices to sign up to the Housebound Incentive Scheme 2018/2019.
This scheme seeks to reduce the inequalities of access to healthcare among housebound patients, who are amongst the most vulnerable within the population.
It is anticipated that early identification of risk issues and ensuring uptake of flu and pneumococcal vaccinations will help avoid unnecessary use of emergency and secondary care services over the winter period.
Please contact your Primary Care Improvement Lead for the specification and application form. These should be completed and returned by 17 August 2018.
