The government's strategy for people with long-term conditions will do little to reduce emergency hospital admissions, according to Department of Health research.
An interim study of the Evercare programme, which provides the model for the strategy, finds it is unlikely to cut emergency hospital admissions for older people by more than 1 per cent in its 10 pilot areas.
Researcher Martin Roland said: "The same may apply to other case management programmes, including the policy on long-term conditions."
