This report presents the results of the finance mapping exercise carried out as part of the autumn review process. It provides details of the level of investment in mental health services for older people’s mental health services (OPMH) covering people aged 65 and above, in England for 2011/12 and compares it with the reported results in previous in OPMH in England since 2006/07. Overall, 87% of OPMH investment by value was reported with only 13% being estimated – a little higher estimation than last year but still very creditable for a non-mandatory collection. Return rates were better from PCTs than Local Authorities (89% investment reported compared to 84%). The largest area of non-returns was the same as the working age adult survey, from the West Midlands area which consequently has a much higher level of estimation. Total reported overall cash investment in OPMH mental health services fell by -1.00% from £2.859 billion in 2010/11 to £2.830 billion in 2011/12. 62% of the OPMH services in 2011/12 were commissioned by PCTs and 38% reported commissioned by Local Authorities.

This report present the findings and conclusions of research undertaken in the context of research projects carried out by a consortium of ENEPRI member institutes. This report is a contribution to Work Package 5 of the ANCIEN project, which focuses on the future of long-term care for the elderly in Europe. This report analyses the quality assurance policies for long-term care (LTC) in the following countries: Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. First, it discusses quality assurance in LTC by analysing: the dimensions of quality, the policy frameworks for quality in LTC, the different levels of development of LTC quality policies at the international, national, organisational, and individual levels. Second, it describes the methodology for collecting and analysing data on quality policies in the selected countries. Finally, it discusses the results, identifying four clusters of countries based on quality policies and indicators for LTC. These clusters are compared to the clusters identified in Work Package 1 of the ANCIEN project. Policy recommendations are proposed.

This report present the findings and conclusions of research undertaken in the context of research projects carried out by a consortium of ENEPRI member institutes. This report is a contribution to Work Package 5 of the ANCIEN project, which focuses on the future of long-term care for the elderly in Europe. The report presents the quality indicators that were collected by the ANCIEN project partners in each country. The main contribution of this report is a classification of the quality assurance indicators in different European countries according to three dimensions: organisation type; quality dimensions; and system dimensions. The countries that provided quality indicators, which are used at a national level or are recommended to be used at a local level by a national authority, are: Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In total, 390 quality indicators were collected. Each quality indicator has been assigned to one or more options in each dimension.

The ‘Rich Pictures’ are evidence-based summaries of the numbers, needs and experiences of different groupings within the 2 million people living with cancer in the UK. They contain a range of evidence and insight including how many people are within the group, what their survival rates are, and what their typical needs and experiences are. This document provides information on older people living with cancer. The greatest risk factor for cancer is age, and over 60% of everyone living with cancer is aged 65 years and over. Around 1.3 million (13%) people aged 65 years and over are living with or beyond cancer. The document summarises what is known about the needs and experiences of older people at different stages of the cancer journey (diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and progressive illness and end of life), and also what is known about their lifestyle and perceptions. It considers 4 types of needs: physical and medical needs; financial needs; practical and information needs; and emotional and psychological needs.

The report highlights the key findings from research and analysis on end of life care carried out by the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network over the last year.

This is the principal aim of the Network and the focus of this summary report. Topics covered include: preferences of place of care and place of death; inpatient hospital care in the last year of life; social care in the last year of life; different disease groups; costs of care; workforce, competencies and training, and quality of care. The report highlights areas where improvements have been made as well as where further action is needed to improve care for people who are dying.
