GPs are not providing the level of support that people living with frailty need. To improve this, NHSE should set clear and consistent requirements for GPs to assess and support people living with frailty, including the proportion and frequency of assessments and the minimum acceptable care to be provided.

There are many piecemeal initiatives for frailty but no real understanding of the impact they make on people?s health. DHSC should commission a systematic evaluation to demonstrate whether its patchwork of frailty initiatives is working together to provide an effective and holistic approach to supporting people living with frailty. This should include urgent community response, the enhanced Health in Care Homes programme, virtual wards, community health services and neighbourhood health.
