  • Edinburgh's Joint Commissioning Plan for Older People 2012-22
    ‘Live Well in Later Life’ Edinburgh’s Joint Commissioning Plan for Older People 2012-22 In partnership with Foreword Older people use our health and social care services more than any other group of service users. We also know that the number of older people is growing faster than any other age group and their preferences and expectations are changing. In order to meet the needs of older people in Edinburgh, now and in the future, it is essential that we have robust plans in place. It is key that these plans are developed and delivered in partnership with all providers of health, social care and support for older people, whether these be in the NHS, Council, voluntary or independent sector. It is only by working together that we can deliver the best outcomes for older people within the challenging financial and demographic context that we face. This ten year plan sets out the strategic direction for older people’s services ranging from acute hospital care through to lower levels of support provided within the community. The plan covers a wide range of services and support and recognises the important contribution made to the health and wellbeing of older people living in Edinburgh. Within the lifetime of this plan, the health and social care landscape will change significantly. National policy changes including the Integration of Health and Social Care and the Personalisation of services (which includes the introduction of Self Directed Support legislation) will transform the way that care and support is delivered. We are working with our partners to deliver this transformational change, to give older people more choice and control over the care and support they receive and to ensure that health and social care services are of high quality, are joined up and are focused on individuals.
