This paper reports on the first rapid assessment that has been undertaken on the Welsh National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People, and focuses on the perceptions of healthcare staff from Welsh Health Boards. A questionnaire was sent to key colleagues in each of the seven Health Boards. Anonymity was vital to allow colleagues to score their questionnaires honestly. Overall, the impact of the NSF was perceived as too difficult to assess. The most promising element of the NSF appeared to be a perception on the impact on joint health and social care working. Also, the NSF urgently needs to provide evidence of positive impact. The next stage, based on a focussed approach, offers an opportunity to progress this. The authors concluded that a rapid assessment exercise, using existing networks that are built on trust, can yield valid and useful information which can help policy development.

Although there are no accurate national statistics on ages of people with learning difficulties it is anticipated that the next 20 years will see a boom in the number of older people with learning difficulties. Because people are living longer, coming out of long-stay hospitals and outliving their carers it is getting increasingly important to provide services for older people with learning difficulties. Asks whether SSDs are prepared.
