The National Bed Inquiry indicated that up to 20% of older people might be inappropriately occupying acute hospital beds and could be discharged if alternative services were available. The report proposed the concept of ‘Intermediate Care’ as a scenario that might contribute to resolving issues around the use of acute hospital beds. The Department of Health (DoH) Circular to Health Authorities and Local Councils with regard to Intermediate Care and the publication of the National Service Framework for Older People have brought intermediate care into mainstream health policy.
