New beginning for care for elderly people?

Abstract

New beginning for care for elderly people? National framework could transform care for older people in England Editor-Grimley Evans and Tallis criticise the national service framework for older people. 1 I agree with them that the policy to reduce emergency admissions to hospital only among the over 75s is ageist. Application of the framework's age discrimination standard means that this high level performance measure will have to be changed to an age standardised measure.
