	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2014 answer text <p>Office for National Statistics estimates suggest that by 2024, more than 10% of the United Kingdom population will be aged 75 or over. Our recent publication <em>Transforming Primary Care</em>, sets out our vision for more proactive, personalised, joined up care, particularly for older people. From the end of June 2014, all people aged 75 and over will have a named general practitioner (GP) with overall responsibility for and oversight of their care.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, because of advances in medicine, people of all ages are living with complex health needs. Starting in September 2014, over 800,000 people will benefit from a Proactive Care Programme, which will provide personalised joined-up care and support tailored to their needs.</p><p> </p><p>To ensure that the workforce is capable of supporting these changes, we are working closely with Health Education England, NHS England and the professions to improve recruitment, retention and return to practice, both for GPs and for other key parts of the local workforce such as community nurses. We are planning to make available around 10,000 additional primary and community health and care professionals by 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 03/07/2014 13:29:08 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
