| Annotation | The longer term aim of the SPRU programme is to develop and test ways in which social care agencies can collect and use information about service outcomes. This study involved people with physical impairments, dementia or functional mental illness, users of social day care, and older people from minority ethnic groups. Two groups of carers, resident and non-resident, were also involved. Staff involved included home care, day care, care management staff, and some managers. After commenting on access to services, this overview lists and describes outcomes most often mentioned in relation to time limited change, and then lists outcomes where the intention of services is that they should be sustained or maintained continuously. Next, outcomes which relate to the impact on the way services are delivered on how people feel, are listed, both as they affect carers and those who use services. Appendices briefly describe stakeholder views on information collection, and outlines the resulting development proposals in relation to local organisational context. (RH). |
