- To illustrate how the Alliance member organisations support older people with complex health and care needs via logic modelling.
- To identify the range of activities provided by these organisations and what the outputs and longer term outcomes are.
- To discuss the contribution made by the member organisations regarding the coordination of care, provision of therapeutic care, support for self-management,provision of integrated services and respite and carer support.
