| Annotation | Many people with long-term neurological conditions (LTNCs) require support from a range of services, but these services do not always work in a joined-up way. The National Service Framework (NSF) for Long-term Neurological Conditions recognised the need for an integrated approach to service delivery. Researchers at the Social Policy Research Unit (SPRU) explored what helps or hinders service integration and identified three types of service that promote continuity of care. They then conducted a survey of all English Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to assess the initial impact of the National Service Framework on integrated service provision. This Research Works outlines the key findings. The research was funded by the National Institute for Health Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO) programme. (RH). |
