| Annotation | This chapter aims to review post-war developments in health and social welfare as they have affected older people, and to assess current trends and development. Three broad, interrelated issues are explored: the organisational and administrative changes and developments that have taken place within health and social welfare in the past fifty years; the ideological shifts that have accompanied them; and the matching of both these issues to the actual circumstances of older people themselves during the period. Despite the likely growth in the older population in the next fifty years, the author is optimistic that an active third age, implying a continuing social contribution, will more than offset the demands made in the closing years of life for health and social care. |
