Sets out guidance on applying for funding to the Intermediate Care Fund in Wales. The Fund aims to encourage integrated working between local authorities, health and housing in supporting older people, particularly the frail elderly, to maintain their independence and remain in their own home. It can be used to avoid unnecessary hospital admissions, or inappropriate admission to residential care, as well as preventing delayed discharges from hospital. The Fund includes £35 million revenue funding and £15 million capital funding. It is hoped the Fund can be used to build on existing good practice and to increase the scale of provision of integrated services across Wales. The closing date for bids is the 2 March 2014.
