Joint working. It's a stitch-up.

A joint-working scheme aimed at keeping older people out of hospital with improved home support has reduced emergency admissions and cut the length of hospital stays. The initiative, involving four GP practices, a health authority, a community trust and social services department, included the appointment of a nurse co-ordinator and six support workers offering a 24-hour service. The scheme is now being extended by two primary care groups.
