Describes how the Department of Health is financing and co-ordinating a new Advisory Group at the Centre for Policy on Ageing to submit a report to the DoH and the Welsh Office on benchmark standards in care homes. The intention is to provide revised clearer central guidance on the standards which care homes provide. Local and health authority inspection units will be given clearer and more specific guidelines about what regulators should expect in terms of fitness of persons, buildings, services and outcomes. This article reviews their task.
