AnnotationThis paper aims to assist people responsible for revising local approaches to community care assessment in line with government requirements, as detailed in the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF). Standard 2 of the NSF, on person-centred care, states that "the NHS and social services treat older people as individuals and enable them to make choices about their own care". This is achieved through the single assessment process (SAP), integrating commissioning arrangements and integrated provision of services. The paper analyses the SAP's key elements and suggests approaches to be adopted, some of which are based on workshops with local stakeholders from a number of authorities. (KJ/RH).
