In 'neighbourhood health' the answer to the NHS crisis?

The experience of one area in Birmingham suggests with investment & some re-organisation it could be, but as always the danger is this move into more community provision is seen as a way of cutting costs not improving health care.

Less than 2% of England's health system costs are spent on administration, so the abolition of NHS England & Streeting's move on streamlining management may in the end not only be costly in redundancy payments they may also be costly in management functionality.

Since 2015/16 the Public Health Grant to local authorities has fallen by 26% per person (worse in some deprived areas), halting or limiting pubic health interventions in many areas of health!

A serious health strategy would rebuild this provision!
