There are one in four people over 65 living with two or more chronic illnesses. Chronic conditions include diabetes, heart disease, epilepsy, respiratory disease, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The ESRI in 2009 estimated that the number of patients over 65 will triple over the next 30 years. Chronic diseases will increase proportionally indicating the need to accelerate progress towards person-centred care. Prevalence of multiple chronic illnesses has led to higher risks leading to an increase in the number of hospitalisations resulting in fragmented care for the patient.
