NAPS Social Inclusion Forum: Older People - Care Services in the Community


Title:
NAPS Social Inclusion Forum: Older People – Care Services in the Community

Date Published: January 2005

Pages: 3

File Size: 211KB

Executive Summary:

Access to services by older people
The improvement of access by older people to required services is a priority objective under the National Action Plan against Poverty and Social Exclusion 2003-2005 (NAP/Inclusion). A relatively high proportion of older people, a majority of whom are women, are at risk of poverty and social exclusion and this risk is exacerbated when they are living alone. Income support and accessibility of services is critical to their quality of life. The ageing of the population, including increasing longevity, leads to greater demands for care for older people. The relative rural decline is continuing with the rate of increase in the population, as recorded in the 2002 census, at 4.3% being over 6% less than the increase in the urban population, which is now 60% of the total population. This can affect the level of services and isolation for older people.
