A 2025 UK report reveals most frail older adults aren’t getting essential care, due to GP shortages and heavy workloads.
A 2025 National Audit Office report reveals that English GPs are failing to provide adequate follow-up care for frail older adults, with only 18% of those diagnosed in 2024/25 receiving fall risk assessments and 16% getting medication reviews.
Despite an estimated 1.5 million affected, frailty assessments remain low, at just one in six by 2024/25, with wide regional disparities.
GPs cite rising workloads and staffing shortages as key barriers, with each GP now managing 2,241 patients on average.
The report urges systemic improvements under the NHS’s 10-year plan, and the government acknowledges shortcomings while pledging to strengthen elderly care.
