AnnotationRecognising that frail elderly people's views are often unheard during consultative processes, a project in Wakefield aims to ensure that their needs and wishes become known to community care planners. The author describes the 'Talk-Back' project, in which trained volunteer 'partners' make visits to the housebound over 75 years old, and which aims to provide a model of good practice.
