| Annotation | In the government spending review in June 2013, George Osborne announced the creation of a joint health and social care budget to improve efficiency and outcomes by collaborative working. Given their involvement with discharge planning and admission avoidance, this should be of interest to medical professionals working with older people and to the British Geriatrics Society (BGS). There is also the opportunity to work with social care colleagues to produce models of integrated health and social care that are useful and cost-effective. (RH). |
