| Annotation | The 'art of the possible' means that politics can be complex, and policy outcomes will be the result of constraints and compromises among a number of competing agencies and vested interests. An overview of three key areas illustrate such compromises and constraints: public opinion, the policy process itself, and the difficulties of implementation. Scottish and Welsh devolution has already led to differences with UK national policy: Scotland is offering an enhanced policy commitment to older people, as recommended by the Royal Commission on Long Term Care, which has so far been rejected by national government.
