| Annotation | The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) analyses research findings behind specific social work practices, in this case reports around access to welfare services in rural areas. This article identifies issues around social exclusion, costs of services, and stigmatisation as typifying the problems of rural areas. Three items relating to services for older people are outlined. Deirdre Heenan's article 'The factors influencing access to health and social care in the farming communities of County Down, Northern Ireland' (Ageing and Society, vol 26, pt 3, May 2006); Anthea Innes and colleagues' 'Service provision for people with dementia in rural Scotland: difficulties and innovations' (Dementia, vol 5, no 2, May 2006); and Age Concern England's 'Delivering for older people in rural areas: a good practice guide' (ACE, 2005).
