GPs Falling Short in Frailty Support
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
GPs Fall Short in Supporting Frailty Patients: A National Audit Office report reveals that only one in six eligible patients aged sixty-five or older with frailty are being assessed, a significant drop from previous years. The report also highlights that out of those diagnosed with frailty, only a small percentage have been assessed for fall risk and received a medical review. The National Health Service is urged to build a more effective and sustainable service for older people, as many are not receiving the necessary care due to increasing workload and shrinking workforce.
