Question

Intensity of home care packages:- What is the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of different intensities of home care packages for older people with a range of care and support needs?

Any explanatory notes
(if applicable)

Why this is important:- There is a lack of evidence on the cost effectiveness of different intensities of home care packages applicable to the UK. Additionally, the 2 included studies that consider the cost effectiveness of different intensities of home care only consider home care costs rather than wider resource use.
