| Annotation | A letter in response to the article: "Caring for the oldest old" featured in a previous week's BMJ (24 March 2007 pp 570-1) by Robine, Michel, and Herrmann. It refers to a longitudinal study of ageing in Ireland, and advocates that "even in advanced old age, a sense of partnership between services and all older people needs to be developed." However, design and planning of housing and transport will need to be enhanced to facilitate such a partnership and remove unnecessary barriers. (KJ/RH). |
