The NHS will offer health checks or “MOTs” for over-65s at A&E departments, in an attempt to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions.

NHS chief executive, Amanda Pritchard, believes this approach will assist in providing the right help sooner. The tests will focus on blood pressure, heart health, mobility, malnutrition, and review patients’ falls and respiratory history.
