| Annotation | Peter Woodhouse, strategic development officer for Cumbria, explains to the author the ideas behind a new virtual care village that has received planning permission. All the residents of this village - with a planned population of 500 by 2008 - will already have received care services. While installing and running "telecare" services and alarm systems might seem expensive, the costs are favourable when compared to care home fees, added to which people would prefer to live in their own homes.
