| Annotation | Services for older people are falling down government priority lists. Two consultant nurses for older people argue for specialist care, both in hospital and the community, to be made explicit in the government's reform and modernisation plans. They comment that Lord Darzi's next stage review of the National Health Service (NHS) appears to omit older people's care. This is in contrast to their own work in specialist services which is needs-led and brings with it an understanding of the impact of the ageing process on health and well-being, and uses person-centred assessment, treatment and rehabilitation.
