Explores the ways in which local authorities and health authorities, in conjunction with the voluntary sector, are currently developing preventive strategies and services with older people. Looks at the reasons why some authorities have progressed further with this agenda and identifies the factors associated with this progress.

Examples of good practice are given throughout.
