Increasing the current service provision in line with the projected population growth is unaffordable and early evidence from the Anticipating Future Needs studies shows that it would not meet the changing expectations of older people. Configuring Future Services explores service configuration options to support people's preferred lifestyle, in their own homes, as long as possible. These exist at the health and social care interface and represent opportunities to build on Joint Strategic Needs Assessment with specific, practical joint projects. This paper provides the evidence for service reconfiguration for 7 conditions based on the current literature and an implementation planning approach. A second paper, in December 2007, will discuss lessons learnt from work with two pilot authorities and make recommendations for wider implementation including the building of a knowledge base for local authorities to access.
