This Framework aims to develop integrated services to improve care and support for older people, particularly frail elderly people or those with complex needs, including dementia. It aims give greater emphasis to prevention and early intervention, to reduce, or delay, people becoming frail or developing complex needs. The Framework: summarises the relevant policy and key principles; sets out the Welsh Government’s expectations for all partners (local authorities, health, housing, third and independent sectors) to work together to develop and deliver integrated services; identifies the evidence and core requirements for local planning and delivery; and identifies key actions for delivery and high level outcomes, against which progress will be measured.
