| Annotation | The consultation, 'The case for change' (Department of Health, 2008) describes social care services as "the activities, services and relationships that help people to be independent, active and healthy throughout their lives". This publication aims to demonstrate the range of positive outcomes that are possible for older people, organisations and systems when there is investment in preventive services. It is by way of a services directory which is also relevant to the Putting People First agenda.

This directory can also be downloaded (from http://www.ageconcern.org.uk/AgeConcern/bigq-preve... (RH). |
