| Annotation | As policymakers seek to develop a more preventative and rehabilitative approach to older people's services, new policies and integrated initiatives have made a positive contribution. However, rebalancing the nature of the system as a whole remains elusive. This paper provides a critical review of English health and social care, and explores attempts to embed a more preventative and rehabilitative approach through multidisciplinary and cross-organisational initiatives. The authors draw on a national expert report commissioned as part of the European Union (EU) project (INTERLINKS: health systems and long-term care for older people in Europe - modelling the INTERfaces and LINKS between prevention, rehabilitation, quality of services and informal care - FP7-HEALTH-2007-B). Initiatives considered include intermediate care, re-ablement, and LinkAge Plus (LAP) and Partnerships for Older People Projects (POPPs) pilots. (RH). |
