 It's no secret that revised government spending means the NHS is having to save money, but a new scheme being trialed in Southend will mean some patients' medical details won't be a secret either, the NHS plans to look at the records of thousands of patients to identify which a high cost, the scheme meant to identify which patients are frequently going to see their GP, going to ANE, or who are on a lot of prescription drugs with a view to review their care and trimming the budget, at the moment here in Southend around 17,500 patients will be involved in the scheme, but it's thought it could be rolled out to other parts of the country.To some extent we have always done this in our practices, so we always identify patients who use up a lot of resources absolutely legitimately as we are to not to deny them that need, but what we do is that we find more efficient ways of delivering their care, and often as a result of that patient care improves.
