| Annotation | "Fees paid to GPs for services provided to residents of care accommodation for older people - 2000-2001" - an earlier report by ACO (with VOICES and OBFA) - showed that older people in residential care and sheltered housing were being treated differently in different geographic areas. This report describes a programme of work carried out to establish exactly what older people in residential care and sheltered settings want from their general practitioners (GPs). Its findings are presented in the context of the overall policy environment in which care homes operate and in which GPs conduct their business. The report suggests some "hallmarks" for good practice in the provision of healthcare for older people in residential care and sheltered housing. (RH). |
