| Annotation | The baby-boomer generation now entering "old age" have expectations which are more demanding than those of previous generations. If personalised care is to be made a reality, ways in which services are currently commissioned will have to change. Commissioned personalised care will have to be defined in terms of: ensuring quality; meeting people's needs; promoting independence; providing choice; commissioning cost-effectively; and supporting the whole community. While commissioning is improving, Denise Platt suggests that the following must be borne in mind: involving the public and people who use services; encouraging flexibility and innovation; and effective joint commissioning between social care and health.
