Recommendations include:

• telecare definitions
• commissioning pack and plans
• integration arrangements
• prevention approaches
• pooled budgets
• telecare spending from NHS resources, and
• awareness raising including Three Million lives.

The report and the analysis it contains was compiled following a number of requests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 sent to all upper-tier and unitary local authorities in England. The audit was responded to by 121 out of 152 councils (80%) in England. All analyses in this paper are based on the responses of those local authorities that responded in full to the FOI requests.
