Domiciliary care services are generally agreed to be the most important in respect of enabling older people, and others with severe disabilities, to remain in their own homes where this is their choice. This study represents Stage 1 of a two stage programme of research into domiciliary care provision. The study identified domiciliary care providers in Scotland and a sample of one in two of these was surveyed in order to examine the availability and range of domiciliary care provision across all sectors. Stage 2 of the research will investigate the extent to which domiciliary services for very dependent older people (including those with dementia) present a viable alternative to residential care.

Ageing is a global demographic trend, of great interest to policy makers and experts. As well as economic and social challenges it is necessary to understand to what extent an ageing population will also present economic opportunities for businesses and society as a whole. This paper presents a discussion on the challenges and opportunities of the ageing population for business and the public sector in the United Kingdom. It explains the rationale for the paper and describes the work the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has been doing to promote economic opportunities for older people. The paper explores the economic factors relevant to the ageing population, including public expenditure, labour market participation and opportunities for business. It considers the implications of the ageing population for: the labour market; the needs of older consumers, and outlines private savings and public finance. Several case studies of good practice are included in helping employers meet the needs of older workers, helping older people start their own businesses, and tailoring products and services for older people. In conclusion, it discusses the possible impacts of the ageing population on local authorities.
