Annotation	The Government launched 'Lifetime homes, lifetime neighbourhoods: a national strategy for housing in an ageing society' on 25 February 2008. This briefing outlines the strategy's main proposals on existing and new homes, and the recognition of the role of housing in delivering the wider health and social care agenda. Care & Repair comments that ageing has had a low profile in the housing sector, but concludes that the strategy sets out the worthy aim of allowing everyone, whatever their age, to "participate and enjoy their home and their environment for as long as possible".
