AnnotationIn 1996, a group called together by Professor Livesley met at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to respond to a growing awareness in the National Health Service (NHS) that something must be done to improve the care of older people. This report sets out their action agenda, the key recommendation being a comprehensive year 2000 audit of the information needed to plan health services for an ageing population.
