LinkAge Plus
|
The LGC is working with the Department for Work and Pensions on a National Evaluation of the LinkAge Plus pilot programme. LinkAge Plus is part of the wider public policy reform agenda which makes the case for a radical change to public services by modernising the delivery of services for older people by putting the needs of the user not the producer at the centre. It falls out of various studies and discussion papers produced both inside and outside government, which underpin the vision of developing strategic whole system approaches to older people. The LinkAge Plus project (via its programme of pilots) aims to deliver a robust evidence base about joined up working to ensure that future service delivery can meet the standard and convenience of users whilst being more, or at least no less, cost-efficient than existing services that are not fully integrated. A key output of LinkAge Plus is also intended to be the partnership working between central government, local authorities, other organisations and older people themselves.
