| Annotation | There are early indications that the 29 POPP (Partnerships for Older People Projects) pilot sites are having a significant effect on reducing emergency hospital bed-day use when compared to non-POPP sites. This report provides interim findings and key lessons learnt to date from the Department of Health (DH) POPP programme. It notes older people's involvement within the projects, and issues around the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of POPPs. The report will therefore be of interest to localities implementing strategies to promote independence for older people. The evaluation is due to present further findings in October 2008. A website (www.changeagentteam.org.uk/POPP) has further information about POPPs. (RH). |
