‘The dropping of so many indicators is a concern because what gets counted in the NHS tends to be what gets done. ‘Progress on the rollout of women’s health hubs, staff welfare, community services and other areas cannot be allowed to stall in the absence of a target, so it is vitally important that the NHS continues to monitor these issues. ‘Indeed, we need better data and reporting in areas like rehab to drive the very improvements which the government is rightly committed to. ‘We and other organisations will be pressing NHS England to continue to report on all these areas, along with the need to invest in the physiotherapy workforce. ‘It’s clear that the government’s ambition to move more care out of hospital, including through the expansion of integrated neighbourhood teams, will require significant physio involvement. ‘It’s essential that the NHS makes full use of the healthy supply entering the workforce and creates a band 5 role for every graduate who wants one.’ @RobYeldham, director of strategy at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy reponds to NHS England's 2025-6 Planning Guidance, released today. #RightToRehab
