| Annotation | The Local Government Association (LGA) and the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) have been working with local authorities to explore how services are planned and provided to promote independence and well-being in later life, in line with Public Service Agreement (PSA) 17, 'Tackle poverty and promote greater independence and wellbeing in later life'. This document details the learning and best practice that the LGA and the IDeA have gathered from research and sector-shared initiatives on the age agenda, bearing in mind the forthcoming "refresh" of 'Opportunity age'. A particular focus is on the National Indicators relating to older people's health and well-being: NI 137 Healthy life expectancy at age 65; NI 138 Satisfaction of people over 65 from with home and neighbourhood; and NI 139 The extent to which older people receive the support they need to life independently at home. The report is based on responses sent to 33 English local authorities that had one of more of the NIs relating to older people's health and well-being in their Local Area Agreement (LAA). (RH). |
