Options for Aged Care in China
Author: Elena Glinskaya
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464810761
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
China is aging at an unprecedented rate. Improvements in life expectancy and the consequences of the decades-old family planning policy have led to a rapid increase in the elderly population. According to the United Nations World Population Prospects, the proportion of older people age 65 and over will increase by about one-fourth by 2030, and the elderly will account for about one quarter of the total population by 2050. Population aging will not only pose challenges for elder care but also have an impact on the economy and all aspects of society (World Bank, 2016a). The government is aware of the need to develop an efficient and sustainable approach to aged care. To this end, the General Office of the State Council issued the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Aged Care Services in China and the Development Plan for a System of Social Services for the Aged (2011-2015). It is now in the process of formulating the 13th Five-Year National Plan on Aging, which will further elaborate and finalize the reform roadmap for 2016 to 2020. The Plan is expected to be finalized and launched by June 2016. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) helped draft these plans and is now leading the development of policy measures for the provision of social services for the elderly. This volume has been prepared to support the translation of the broad ideas on aged care provision expressed in the 12th and 13th Five-Year Plans and other government plans into reality and to help the government tackle the challenges described above. It strives to identify a policy framework that fits the Chinese context and can be put in place gradually. Specifically, it aims to provide an up-to-date understanding of the evolving aged care landscape in China; review international experiences in long-term care provision, financing, and quality assurance and assess their relevance to China’s current situation; discuss implications of current developments and trends for the future of aged care in China; and propose policy options based on available evidence and best practices.

Annual accountability hearing with the Care Quality Commission
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215561305
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Following its annual review of the work of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the Health Committee reports that the bias of the work in the CQC away from its core function of inspection and towards the essentially administrative task of registration, represents a significant distortion of priorities. The Committee reports that: the CQC was established without sufficiently clear and realistic definition of its priorities and objectives; the timescales and resource implications of the functions of the CQC were not properly analysed; the registration process itself was not properly tested and proven before it was rolled out; the CQC failed to draw the implications of these failures adequately to the attention of ministers, Parliament and the public. Consequently, the Committee welcomes the government's decision to postpone registration of GP practices, and recommends that proper planning, including piloting of the model for registration, should be undertaken before the revised date of April 2013 is confirmed. The Committee also welcomes recent announcements that the CQC intends to undertake annual visits of all NHS and social care providers. It goes on to stress the importance of the role of inspectors in assessing the culture in care providers, especially concerning the obligation which rests on all healthcare professionals to raise concerns if they recognise, or ought to have recognised, evidence of failure of professional standards. Each provider organisation should recognise and respect this professional obligation and provide proper security to those professional staff who discharge it effectively.
