00:00Up to 300,000 people in England with heart disease, frailty and lung conditions could
00:06receive support from their GP this winter. The government has set aside £40 million for
00:12health checks, medication reviews and nurse-led respiratory clinics, aiming to prevent hospital
00:18admissions. Practices will identify patients they believe are most at risk, with primary
00:24care networks, receiving £126 for each eligible person supported. But the money is being reallocated
00:32from existing GP budgets. The Royal College of Nursing says this short-term help must lead
00:37to lasting investment in practice nurses, while the Liberal Democrats say wider pressures remain.
