National Service Framework for Older People

A draft National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People in Wales has been developed with the advice and contribution of many key stakeholders, including older people.

This draft NSF was launched by the Deputy Minister with specific responsibility for older people - John Griffiths AM - for formal consultation on 6 July 2005, and comments are welcomed from all interested parties. The consultation period will close on 14 October 2005, and it is intended to issue the final NSF and implementation framework early in 2006.

On the Wales NHS web site one can now access pdf versions of the draft NSF, the Executive Summary and the accompanying Medicines and Older People booklet. (Click on 'Consultation Documents' on the left hand menu). Welsh language versions will also be posted.
