| Annotation | In 2001, the Department of Health (DH) recognised that the voluntary sector could play an important role in intermediate care, for example by helping people regain confidence in rehabilitation. To promote partnership working between the statutory and voluntary sectors in intermediate care, the DH provided 3 years' funding to Age Concern England, the Red Cross and Help the Aged. This report explores what happened to the seven Intermediate Care Programme pilot projects established by Help the Aged in Year 4 when start-up funding was no longer available. The report describes the projects' difficulties in putting together an effective case for continued funding, in accurately costing their service, and in their dealings with those commissioning services.
