| Annotation | In mid-2002, P&G Professional began discussions with the Independent Healthcare Association (now the English Community Care Association, ECCA), to identify ways of adding value to the long term care sector. This qualitative study was designed to probe the dynamics and trends behind the key strategic issues facing the industry. Laing & Buisson was commissioned to undertake the telephone interviews with senior executives of 40 organisations in the sector, analyse the data, and produce the report. The study's objectives were to: provide information of value to the sector and those working in it; complement the quantitative information already available; probe the reactions of the sector to the many issues it faces; allow home operators to compare their own operations with the rest of the industry; and give the sector a powerful voice to express concerns to government and other policy makers and potential partners. Findings relate to: growth and development; regulation and partnership; and staffing issues. Interviewees also identified the following as key issues: demographics and demand; quality of care and the sector's development; regulation and inspection; and relations with government. (RH). |
