A local MP is calling for healthcare providers to work closer together through new reforms and extra funding
Queen Elizabeth Hospital and East of England Ambulance Service have been rated some of the worst in the UK, in recent work.
Over the last few months, five health & social-care providers in South West Norfolk have been rated as requires improvement or inadequate
"We need a health and social care system that works and talks to each-other"
Terry Jermy represents South West Norfolk in Parliament:
"I have been particularly concerned over the last month how many providers have got either of the lowest scores possible.
"We have seen some real welcome investment in some individual aspects but the re-organisation of the intergraded Care Board needs to be the focus now. We need a health and social care system that works and talks to each-other".
"With so many different healthcare services failing there is a cumulative impact and the Government needs to bring in extra support to bring that together. It will need extra money and reform to get these services working better together.
The Department for Health and Social Care says it's 10 year health plan will look to create more joined up decision-making.
