AnnotationPapers are presented from a national, multi-disciplinary symposium held in Leeds in 1999. Facts about alternatives to hospital care - community hospitals, outreach teams, hospital-at-home, and nursing home care - are considered, as well as assessment of older people in Accident and Emergency departments (A&E) and initiatives in primary care. Developments in "intermediate care", and questions of governance and autonomy are also examined. (RH).
