Strategic commissioning for older people

Whole system strategic commissioning for older people is undeveloped; however it is now rising up the agenda. This paper looks first at the development of a systematic approach to strategic commissioning. It then goes on to examine what is happening on the ground to develop a whole system approach to strategic change, particularly across social care, healthcare and housing, but also linked to a wider wellbeing approach. Finally, it examines the structures and processes that are being developed to support whole system strategic commissioning.
