My wife has been in hospital 3 times in the last 3 months, each time for a UTI triggered sepsis. First the GP prescribed antibiotics, 3 different ones, ending in an emergency, 12 days in hospital, Discharged and repeated twice. She is now home again, after a total of 34 days in hospital. If she had had appropriate treatment at home in the first place, before it turned into sepsis, this would likely not have happened. So yes, improving social care is hugely important.
