answer text <p>The Department is supporting the National Health Service to prepare as robustly as possible for the coming winter and has been working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement to ensure all trusts have plans in place. Providers and commissioners across the East Midlands have been working closely together to prepare for the winter period, supported by regional teams in NHS Improvement and NHS England. The Department has invested an additional £420 million this winter aimed at increasing the resilience and capacity of healthcare providers, including in the East Midlands. Moreover, the region is also benefiting from extended general practitioner hours to give patients more choice and take pressure off emergency departments, as well as the extensive national campaigns undertaken to make people aware of NHS 111 services and pharmacy services and encouraging the public to use the most appropriate NHS service for their needs.</p> more like this
