Critically examines recent policy developments in England aimed at improving health and social services for older people. Summarises the current funding and organisation of services for older people, and highlights some key problem areas. Highlights three main policy themes that are shaping services: an emphasis on partnership; active demonstration of improved performance; and increasing involvement of frontline health professional in decisions of services development. Considers the implications and impact of these factors on the development of services for older people, and discusses whether health service developments are likely to address some of the most pressing needs of older people.
