Annotation	Age Concern Cymru has repeated its survey on the availability of advocacy services for older people in Wales as part of its elder abuse project funded by Comic Relief. The original report in October 2007 highlighted need for an increase in provision of advocacy services in Wales. In the present survey, of 26 respondents (response rate 30%), 19 specifically stated that they provided advocacy services for older people (4 fewer than in 2007). The report points to the importance of advocacy as being essential in helping to protect older people from abuse. Other concerns raised included human rights issues, funding problems, training, and improving standards in advocacy. Development of a National Strategic Framework for older people's advocacy services would greatly assist in implementing the National Service Framework for Older People. In English and Welsh. (RH).
