Annotation	Following on from its report, "Breaking the cycle", the Social Exclusion Unit started a consultation (by e-questionnaire) on the needs of excluded older people in October 2004. This interim report groups issues raised in the feedback received so far (from 57 service providers and 6 focus groups) and covering the following connected thematic areas: the local area (including crime, regeneration, and rural isolation); housing and the home (including homelessness); mobility and transport; social activity; health and mental health; social care and carers; income and employment (including pensions and benefits); equality and diversity; and targets and funding. Respondents stress the importance of early intervention, the need for joined-up and co-ordinated services, and the importance of promoting user involvement, choice and control. (RH).
