| Annotation | This is the first collaborative in-depth review of the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF). It has been carried out by the Healthcare Commission, the Audit Commission and the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI), who have worked in partnership to assess NHS and local authorities progress in meeting the standards set out in the NSF. Evidence comes from a number of sources, including 10 local authorities and 40 NHS trusts covering Buckinghamshire, Brent, Liverpool, Redcar & Cleveland, Greenwich, Leicester, Dorset, Portsmouth, Wiltshire, and Medway. The report identifies these themes by which to review progress on the eight NSF standards: tackling ageism and promoting equality; involving older people; designing and delivering services around older people; stroke; falls; mental health; and living well in later life. Key areas for further action are: tackling discrimination; ensuring that all standards of the NSF are met; and strengthening working in partnership. Appendix B lists policy changes and influences since the NSF was originally published. A summary report (28 pp) (http://www.cqc.org.uk/_db/_documents/Living_well_i... is also available. (RH). |
