| Annotation | Part of "The NHS plan" (TSO, 2000) deals with the "changing relationship between the NHS and the private sector" and the scope for partnership between the two sectors in service provision. One likely development is in "intermediate care", a whole system approach to a range of multidisciplinary, multi-agency services concerning timely discharge from hospital, rehabilitation, and minimising hospital admission or readmission. However, intermediate care should not develop as an ad hoc response to short-term crises. Rather, it should be person-centred. (RH). |
