| Annotation | This report is based on information gathered by Stephen Abbott at the Health and Community Care Research Unit, University of Liverpool, and David Price at the Social Welfare Research Unit, University of Northumbria. It examines how easily people making decisions about continuing care can find relevant, accurate information from health authorities. Four main types of of documents are examined: health authorities' core policy documents; short leaflets summarising health authorities' policies; information about hospital discharge; and information about review procedure for discharge decisions. In each case, good practice guidelines are suggested. |
