| Annotation | The Director for Older People, Department of Health reports on progress to date with the government's ten-year National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People, and sets out the priorities for the second phase. Ten programmes are introduced under three themes: Dignity in care; Joined-up care; and Healthy ageing. The programmes are: dignity in care; dignity at the end of life; stroke services; falls and bone health; mental health in old age; complex needs; urgent care; care records; healthy ageing; and independence, well-being and choice. The report also identifies five key levers for implementing these programmes: leadership; regulation and inspection; public service agreement (PSA) targets; commissioning; and the Care Services Implementation Partnership (CSIP) and other service improvement agencies. More detailed information about the programmes is included in the Next Steps Resource document. (RH). |
