- Abstract
The article assesses the services that encompass intermediate care in Great Britain. Since the launch of the National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People in March 2001, the service model and criteria for access to intermediate care services have undergone change with increased complexities and volumes of patients referred. Locally, this provided a more comprehensive and responsive service model in a fully integrated health and social care service.
