Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
ELIXIR will study existing methods of delivering care packages to people in the remote rural area in which a fully accessible bus service already operates. The possibility of using the bus for some elements of care delivery has already been established and ELIXIR will work with the social services and health care professionals in the area to make the best use of the bus as a means of bringing recipients to the care services and vice versa. The project will then put into action several improved delivery plans which will allow analysis to be made of the cost and benefit effects on the transport service (direct) and social services and health services (cross-sector). These impacts will be measured and assessed for each recipient working with the research team. The circumstances surrounding their cases will be appraised in order to review the macroscopic evaluation of cross sector benefits carried out for DETR some years ago. ELIXIR will report the outcomes, including guidelines for best practice in encouraging multiple use of public transport in rural areas.
