It highlights the political drive to address the extreme demand and fiscal pressure on the NHS by taking care out of hospital and into the community, but argues that this can only be successful if people have a clear understanding that GPs are not always the most appropriate first contact. It further argues that reducing demand is an imperative and that high street health specialists have a key role to play in tackling public health challenges like smoking and obesity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health Statistics<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hscic.gov.uk\/catalogue\/PUB14488\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Quarterly Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Dataset Reports &#8211; Final Q4 2013\/14 IAPT summary statistics and related information, England, Experimental Statistics<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #0066cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.england.nhs.uk\/statistics\/statistical-work-areas\/mixed-sex-accommodation\/\"> Mixed Sex Accommodation Breaches<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; June 2014<br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #0066cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.england.nhs.uk\/statistics\/statistical-work-areas\/direct-access-audiology\/\">Direct Access Audiology Waiting Times<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; May 201<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NICE annual review 2013\/14 The\u00a0NICE Annual Review 2013\/14\u00a0has been published providing a snapshot of work undertaken during the past 12 months.\u00a0 The report reflects on a year, in which the main challenge has been to maintain and build on the relationships created with the NHS and local government in clinical&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4kWbe-ef","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":888,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883\/revisions\/888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
