People with limiting LTCs are the most intensive users of the most expensive services
In the UK, people with a Long Term Condition (LTC) account for:
- 52% of all GP appointments
- 65% of all out-patient appointments
- 72% of all inpatient bed days
The DoH estimates that the treatment and care of those with LTCs account for 69% of the total health and social care spend in England, or almost £7 in every £10 spent
By 2022 total long term care expenditure is forecast to rise by 103% to 26.4 billion.
This is equivalent to a rise from 1.4% to 1.8% of GDP
