title: [Concept policy plan nursing homes].
abstract: The concept report of the administration of the Section Nursing homes of the National Council of Hospitals: 'A policy plan on nursing homes', is reviewed. The conclusion is that the report overestimates the possibilities of nursing home care. This institution is insufficiently equipped for geriatric diagnosis and therapy, for multidisciplinary screening and for supporting home care. The attention paid to the psychogeriatric patient in the plan is insufficient. Views are expressed on, not by the patients, and too much is expected from bureaucratic arrangements. It is a good starting point for discussion.
