Survey
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has commissioned FarrPoint to undertake a research project aimed at improving the evidence base on telecare provision in England, in support of the Telecare National Action Plan.
Despite the size and importance of the telecare sector, there is currently limited data on how telecare is delivered, particularly regarding the number of telecare devices still using analogue signals. This makes it difficult to assess how much progress has been made in reducing risks to telecare users from the digital switchover. To address this, DHSC is seeking data on telecare provision.
More information, and links to the survey can be found in the News section.
