This draft guideline focuses on older people with multiple long-term conditions and their carers. It considers how person-centred social care and support for older people with multiple long-term conditions should be planned and delivered. It addresses how those responsible for commissioning, managing and providing care for people with multiple long-term conditions should work together to deliver safe, high-quality services that promote independence, choice and control. This guideline has been developed in the context of a complex and rapidly evolving landscape of guidance and legislation, most notably the Care Act. While the Care Act and other legislation describe what organisations must do, this guideline is focused on ‘what works’ in terms of how to fulfil those duties, and deliver support to older people with complex care needs and multiple long term conditions. The consultation closes on 13 July 2015. (Edited publisher abstract)
