| Annotation | This report on the Quality of Life Conference aims to give an overview of the planning required to involve and consult housebound older people and their carers in service planning and provision. Information on their experiences and needs are highlighted in the recommendations made in the workshop sessions, on the themes of: hospital discharge; home care; GP (general practitioner) services; safety and security; education and leisure; housing; domiciliary health care; accessible and affordable transport; carers; and dealing with loneliness and depression. Three other workshops represented the needs of the Bengali, Chinese and Greek speaking communities, and discussed the same themes. Responsibility for implementing recommendations has been assigned to the Getting on in Camden Initiative (Camden Council's Vulnerable Older People's Strategy), Camden and Islington Health Authority, health service providers, and Camden Healthy Cities who will perform evaluations. |
