Re: making health and care systems fit for and ageing population. Why we wrote it, who we wrote it for, and how relevant it might be to Canada.

In response to the commentary((1)) in this month's Canadian Geriatrics Journal by Andrew and Rockwood on the recent paper I co-wrote with King's Fund colleagues-"Making Health and Care Systems Fit for an Ageing Population"((2))-I wanted to pen a very personal response, not least because of my visits to health systems in Ontario and Alberta and conversations with many Canadian colleagues that are fresh in my mind. The paper was certainly the most important and influential thing I have written, and was an attempt to weave all the elements of good practice in health care for older people into one overarching narrative. Whilst its biggest target audience is UK health services, I hope it has some relevance to Canada and might stimulate some constructive conversations.
