AnnotationHampshire County Council, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Strategic Health Authority and the seven primary care trusts (PCTs) in the County Council area have formed a partnership to create additional nursing care capacity. This paper outlines factors affecting provision in the county: an increase in delayed transfers from acute hospital beds to nursing and residential homes; nursing home closures; and the effect of social care policy on delayed transfers of care. It identifies an approach to modelling the need for nursing home places, and assesses the partnerships being put in place to create additional capacity in the public sector. (KJ/RH).
