| Annotation | This review introduces the ideas contained in the Audit Commission's 2002 report, "Integrated services for older people: building a whole system approach in England". The author outlines the findings of that report, which leads him to suggest two further pieces of research demonstrating that the whole systems approach for older people is easier said than done. Jacobs and Rummery's article in Social Policy & Administration (2002), "Nursing homes in England and their capacity to provide rehabilitation and intermediate care services" identifies difficulties such as poor access to rehabilitation professionals. Herbert and Breen's "Introducing reimbursement for delayed discharge: a simulation and search for ways forward" (Nuffield Institute for Health, 2002) involved "interested parties" in North Yorkshire, and demonstrated the creation of a blame culture coupled with poor outcomes for service users and a financial deficit for the local authority.
