| Annotation | The NHS Plan aims to promote independence for older people, through developing services delivered in partnership between health and social services. This circular focuses on the specific role of intermediate care within a seamless continuum of services linking health promotion, preventative services, primary care, community health services, social care, support for carers and acute hospital care. The circular outlines: categories of intermediate care; service models; responsibilities for intermediate care and charging; planning development; the role of the independent sector; funding of intermediate care and community equipment services; and planning for older people's services.
