| Annotation | This study was undertaken to see what can be learned from the Netherlands regarding long term care in that country, in order to inform UK policy, research and practice. The comprehensive analysis of the two countries has also been used to help the Technology Strategy Board's project - the Long Term Care Revolution - with examples of innovation and best practice in adult social care provision in a country that is similar to the UK in many ways. Of particular interest is that while the two countries are very similar in demographic profile and the experiences of the older generation, it is notable that, according to official statistics, older individuals remain disability-free for nearly half a decade longer in the Netherlands than in the UK.
