[Factors associated with municipality officers' recognition of relief for elderly life in each municipalities: the community health care white paper survey].

To elucidate the present condition about health, medicine and welfare, and to evaluate factors associated with relief for elderly life in each community, a questionnaire survey was conducted among officers of all the municipalities in Japan. We asked officers about their recognition whether older people can live feeling relieved or not, and other factors about health, medicine and welfare condition in each municipality. Demographic data of each municipality were also used as dependent variables. Odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals for the officers' evaluation of relief for life of the elderly were calculated using unconditional logistic models. Of the 3.252 municipalities, 3,059 (94%) responded to the survey. Of the respondents, 2,957 municipalities (91%) answered questions about relief for elderly life. "Receiving satisfactory medical home care service", "cooperative function between medicine, health, and welfare sections", and "receiving complete welfare service" were associated with their recognition about relief for elderly life in both of cities and rural towns. In addition, "the rate of elderly households" and "the easiness to maintain nursing staff" were associated in the cities. This study indicated that more arrangements are needed not only about health and welfare aspects, but also about medical service, especially medical home care service systems to support older peoples' life in the community.

Community health councils. Their role after the NHS White Paper.

Christine Hogg and Fedelma Winkler review the major and varied changes being introduced in the management of community health councils by different regional health authorities in the wake of the NHS Bill. This piecemeal approach may lead to more variations in the standards of service that individual CHCs offer the public and they argue that there needs to be a coherent policy about the role of CHCs and evaluation and monitoring of their functions.
