Local authorities are best placed to understand and meet the public health needs of their local communities. While councils have had to make savings, they have also shown that good results can be achieved at the same time.</p><p> </p><p>The total number of attendances at sexual health services nationally increased 13% between 2013 and 2017 (from 2,940,779 to 3,323,275). To help manage the overall increase in demand, local authorities have been utilising technology to manage lower risk and asymptomatic patients. Free, confidential online services which are convenient for patients are increasingly being commissioned. As these services develop, they also have the potential to reach groups not currently engaged with clinical services.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 15/11/2018 12:36:01 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

This ranges from health visitors keeping children under five healthy, physiotherapists helping patients regain movement and function, to nurses managing patients over 65 with co-morbidities to enable them to be treated as close to home as possible. They can improve people’s mental and physical health simultaneously by providing treatment based around outcomes important to individuals.</p><p> </p><p>Community health services deliver a broad range of preventative interventions including activities to prevent falls; to manage long term conditions such as diabetes to prevent complications such as blindness and amputations; and to help with weight management.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 28/11/2018 17:42:51 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
