Summary
- Thousands of NHS social care assessments are being done remotely.
- Remote assessments risk failing to identify the full extent of needs.
- Campaign calls for in-person assessments to ensure proper care.
A recent investigation has revealed that thousands of NHS social care assessments are being performed remotely. This shift to virtual evaluations raises significant concerns about the accuracy and thoroughness of these crucial assessments.
The remote nature of these assessments risks failing to capture the true scope of an individual's needs. Consequently, a campaign is actively advocating for these evaluations to be conducted in person. This ensures that families have the opportunity to speak up for their loved ones and that all care requirements are properly identified.
