The London Older People's Service Development Programme was a unique two-year initiative, bringing together care communities from across London to work in partnership to improve primary health and social care services for older people. Using established techniques based on the successful 'collaborative' model, the programme's goal was to promote independence and optimise care outcomes for London's older people, through the delivery of person-centred, co-ordinated services. It is a major tool in implementing the National Service Framework for Older People in London, helping to take forward its aims - particularly the single assessment process - and embed them in good practice.

This inspection report focuses on services for older people in twenty-one local authorities. It focuses in particular on how social services are responding to the national agenda set out in the November 1998 White Paper 'Modernising social services'. It analyses what has improved for older people and their carers, and what factors promoted and inhibited improvement. The biggest message from the inspection was that the majority of social services departments had responded to the White Paper by creating or expanding independence by promoting services targeted at prevention and rehabilitation. This was appreciated by service users but was not yet large scale. The report contains many illustrations of good practice, including user focused residential care, assessment and care planning, culturally responsive services, public information and promoting independence.
