This is the second and final report from the Scottish Executive Health Department’s Range and Capacity Review Group The National Delayed Discharge Action Plan (March 2002) highlighted the need to carry out a range and capacity review of community care services for older people, and led to the establishment of this Range and Capacity Review Group. The first report of the Group Projections of community care service users, workforce and costs was published on 16 July 2004. This was modelling work that presented 7 scenarios and then, for each of these scenarios, set out statistical projections of the numbers of community care service users and of workforce and cost implications at a Scotland level up to 2019. It did not set the context for care, nor did it make recommendations about the way forward. These matters are addressed in this report. This report does not provide, as some might have expected, a detailed analysis of the different models that were outlined in the Group’s first report. As the work progressed it quickly became apparent that the national review group could not decide what should happen at local level. Of the scenarios in the first report, scenario 7 (the joint future model) is the one that fits best with the direction of policy and practice in Scotland. But the way in which a joint future model is delivered in one area will be different from that in another area, because of the mix of existing services (and their inter-action, of which more is said later about a whole systems approach), and the local population and geography. This report therefore sets out: the group's understanding of the big problems, the context in the light of recent, major reports (notably Building a Health Service Fit for the Future (the Kerr Report), Delivering for Health, Better Outcomes for Older People, and the 21st Century Social Work Review), and a vision for care for the increasing ageing population in years to come. The report is therefore neither an action plan nor a model of care, but it sets out principles, a vision for care that has to be worked out in detail at local level.

Scotland's Free Personal and Nursing Care policy is a success which has benefited nearly 50,000 older people in allowing many more older people to be cared for at home. The Scottish Parliament remains fully committed to the policy and will continue to work with local authorities to ensure that older people receive services in line with their needs. Not surprisingly, however, there have been some teething problems in the implementation of this policy which need to be sorted out. The Committee's report helpfully identifies various issues which need to be resolved.

The Queen on the application of Grogan and Bexley NHS Care Trust, SE London Strategic Health Authority(interested party), and Secretary of State for Health(interested party) challenged the refusal to provide fully funded NHS care and only paying for nursing costs. The Department of Health guidance, unlike predecessor guidance in 2001, emphasises that the question of whether a person’s primary need for care is a health need is the “overarching test” of their eligibility for continuing care. It calls on strategic health authorities to review criteria and re-assess people who may have been wrongly denied funding.

Following its successful passage through Parliament the Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Act 2006 received Royal Assent on 25th July. The Act empowers the Assembly to establish an independent Commissioner with a wide range of powers to help ensure that the interests of older people in Wales, who are aged 60 or over, are safeguarded and promoted and that services are improved to meet their needs. The Commissioner will be able to act as a source of information, advocacy and support for older people, to encourage best practice in their treatment and to examine individual cases (where wider issues of principle are involved.) He or she will also be able to review the effect on older people in Wales of the discharge of, proposed discharge, or failure to discharge, functions by certain public bodies. These bodies will include the Welsh Assembly Government, local authorities, fire and rescue authorities, Local Health Boards, NHS Trusts, and further and higher education corporations. The overall aim is to ensure that the work of public bodies has a positive impact on, and takes account of, the needs of older people.
