The House of Lords report found that the lack of coordination between primary care and community services in the NHS was causing patients to be inconvenienced, endangered, and denied opportunities to improve their long-term health. The report was based on interviews with academic experts, government officials, former ministers, and representatives from healthcare, charities, and patient groups. It warned that the lack of integration was leading to substandard care and missed opportunities for home care, with patients being left without the holistic care they need. The report called for better coordination and integration of primary and community services to address these issues.
