| Annotation | The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has a vision for the future of long-term care, and believes that the following principles should underpin all future provision: the right to free nursing care; the right to expert assessment and nursing care; and the right to high quality care. Comments are made regarding: quality of service; preventive services; long-term care at home; acute services; specialist services; discharge; rehabilitation; and activities of daily living. In its recommendations, the RCN calls on policy makers to act now to prepare for the ageing of the population which will undoubtedly occur, and to bear in mind its comments on older people's rights to services. The RCN rejects the notion that the increasing number of older people will create a major crisis or burden on society. (RH). |
