The Help the Aged Intermediate Care Programme for Older People aimed to establish an integrated service in which the needs of the older person came first and the contribution of the voluntary and community sector was seamlessly interwoven with that of the health and social care services. Volunteers were able to fill the gaps left by statutory provision, and according to service users, made a dramatic difference to the social rehabilitation of frail older people recovering from illness. This report makes a compelling case for continuing care, but the current attitude of service commissioners does not bode well for the longer-term provision of low-level support.

.Intermediate care is emerging as performing a significant function in bridging the care gap between hospital and home. However it does not emerge from a policy or service background. Relationships between health and social care services and the voluntary sector have their roots in past policies and practice agendas. This study indicates that any partnership will inevitable encounter challenges associated with multidisciplinary and intraprofessional collaborations.
