Other support, such as diabetes screening, movement sessions for Parkinson’s sufferers and podiatry, will increasingly take place in the community rather than in hospital.
And to help elderly people remain at their care homes, pharmacists will visit to ensure that people are taking the drugs they need.
GPs will also be on hand to offer out-of-hours emergency care.
Evidence suggests that more than a third of hospital admissions from care homes are avoidable.
