| Annotation | Government policy initiatives aim to encourage online delivery of government information and social services, and to promote take-up of internet access by all residents. Online delivery of aspects of social care and health services will make it possible to access these services via the Internet. These findings outline the results of a small scale study by Maria Sourbati, conducted with the support of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), in which she explored how older people living in sheltered housing use the Internet, and how they and their carers feel about online service access. The full report of her study, "Internet use in sheltered housing: older people's access to new media and online service delivery", is published by JRF as part of its series, "The digital age: opportunity or exclusion?" (available from York Publishing Services). (RH). |
