Annotation	One the "milestones" set by the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF) was establishing an integrated falls service in all localities in England by April 2005. This report has been produced in support of Help the Aged's National Falls Awareness Day, 19 July 2005, and presents results based on 95 responses to a postal survey questionnaire (Appendix 1) sent to all 302 English Primary Care Trusts. 37% of respondents had an integrated falls service in place. The report outlines the successes and difficulties, the key factors, and priorities underpinning introduction of integrated falls services. (RH).
