| Annotation | This summary outlines concerns expressed in the main report regarding the erosion of services that help people stay independent. It outlines the need for a national strategy for independence and inclusion. Remaining healthy, active and independent depends on a number of factors, all of which need to be in place for each to be effective: primary health care; warm, safe housing; recuperation and rehabilitation after hospital discharge; personal care; domestic help; staying involved; mobility; information, advice and advocacy; staying in control; and costs and benefits of maintaining services.
