IPC prepares national report on the future of care for older people
IPC has been involved in the preparation of a report for the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) on the future of services for older people. 'The Case for Tomorrow: facing the future' is a review of the changes over the last 10 years and a vision of the future.
Originally developed for the Care Services Efficiency Delivery Programme (CSED), part of the Department of Health, this system provides population data by age band, gender, ethnic group, and by disability living allowance, incapacity benefits, and guardianship for English local authorities.
Prevalence rates from research have been used to estimate the impact of: learning disability, including living with a parent, Down's syndrome, challenging behaviour, autistic spectrum disorders; moderate or serious physical disability including personal care, stroke, diabetes, visual impairment and hearing impairment; mental health problems including depression, neurotic, personality and psychotic disorders, drugs and alcohol, suicide, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and early onset dementia.
Finally, nationally available performance data on individual budgets/self directed support/direct payments and supported residents in care homes, are applied to the projected population figures.
