Health care at the Close-of-Life: is this a cost the 21st century is prepared to meet?
Room S75, St. Clement's Building, St Clement's Lane, London School of Economics
Tuesday 8th April 2003: 9.30 am - 4.30 pm.
(By Peter Millard:) A policy vacuum exists in the care of the oldest old. The elderly physically and mentally infirm are disenfranchised in general practice, in acute hospitals, in hospices and homes. Lessons learnt in the NHS need to be understood on a global basis. The NHS has changed from a welfare state to a welfare market. Speakers at this multi-disciplinary, multisectoral seminar will present the evidence and, using new methods of measuring and modelling hospital activity, consider the need for future policy making to be based on a scientifically valid, total systems, modelling approach to decision making in health and social care.
