A rapid increase of the aged population in Japan is influencing the systems of health service and medical care. A survey was conducted by Delphi technique on 21 general practitioners at key positions in community medicine as to their opinions of the problems with the health care systems and medical care of the aged. According to these physicians, the number of patients increased after medical fees were dropped for the elderly. As a result of early consultation, patients with advanced symptoms decreased, but those with chronic symptoms and poor response to therapy also increased. As to home care of the elderly, difficulty is frequently encountered at present. The number of institutions necessary for the care of these patients at home such as rehabilitation facilities and beds for the elderly in hospitals should be increased.
