maintain independence within the individuals own home. Emphasis is placed on personalised support enabling
people to have more choice and greater control over their lives whilst working to avoid unnecessary admission to
hospital or a care home. The Complex Case Managers work closely with GP's, district nurses and other professionals,

possible outcomes.
