·         focusing on prevention and keeping people healthy and not leaving the intervention until it reached crisis point was especially important;

·         the need to change the nature of conversations with the public from  ‘what is the matter with you’ to ‘what matters to you’;

·         the ambition that patients would have one single record shared digitally was currently on track; and

·         sharing patients’ records digitally was being piloted in a number of care homes.
