| Annotation | The Department of Health (DH) has funded 29 local authority-led Partnerships for Older People Projects (POPPs). This article reviews the projects to date, based on the interim report of progress produced by a National Evaluation Team from the University of Hertfordshire, the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU), University of Keele, John Moores University and University College London. It notes that promoting independence and tackling prevention in adult social care have become increasingly important since POPPs were introduced. On the report, the author is critical of the lack of detail that has emerged, which may prove insufficient given that a full evaluation must be made in October 2008. (RH). |
