Client evaluation report
A well researched and comprehensive statement of the principles of extended care, psychogeriatric and geriatric medicine provides a most acceptable framework for further planning for such programs in the Perth Metropolitan Area. The concepts of regionalisation based on health districts, coordination of extended care and psycho-geriatrics, comprehensive hospital based services and the provision of a similarly coordinated home care plan all represent sound principles which .will ensure improvement in the provision of services for the elderly in the Perth community
The general concepts are very sound .some are innovative and imaginative. There seems .widespread acceptance of the principles on which they are based. It will be possible on the basis of the principles and programs set out in the Report to provide a progressive and practical framework for the future development of geriatric/extended care and Psychogeriatric services for Perth Metropolitan Area. The preliminary draft already goes a long way towards that objective." Department of Health Review
