Exeter Senior Voice, a user involvement project with nearly 300 active members, ran an election for the 12 places on its panel of representatives. The representatives attend a wide range of meetings with staff of statutory and voluntary bodies discussing service development and mapping out strategies designed to respond to older people's needs.
