Following the Lifetime Homes, Lifetime Neighbourhoods national strategy report, the Housing our Ageing Population: Panel for Innovation was established in 2009 to examine what further reform is needed to ensure that new build specialised housing meets the needs and aspirations of the older people of the future. This report brings together the findings and recommendations of the panel, which focused on improving the quality of life of the ageing population by influencing the availability and choice of high-quality sustainable homes and neighbourhoods, challenging the perceptions of mainstream and specialised housing for older people, raising the aspirations of older people to demand higher quality more sustainable homes, and spreading awareness of the possibilities offered through innovative design of housing and neighbourhoods. It highlights key design recommendations, offers case studies from London, Bristol, York, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Sweden, proposes further work, links to parallel studies that emphasise the role of place making in enhancing quality of life, and forms the basis of advice to government ministers.

This Mandate reaffirms the government’s commitment to an NHS that remains available to all, based on clinical need and not ability to pay; and that is able to meet patients’ needs and expectations now and in the future. Specifically, it reflects the priority to transform NHS care provision for older people and those with complex needs. It is structured around five main areas where the government expects NHS England to make improvements: preventing people from dying prematurely; enhancing quality of life for people with long-term conditions; helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury; ensuring that people have a positive experience of care; and treating and caring for people in a safe environment and protecting them from avoidable harm. Further sections of the Mandate cover: freeing the NHS to innovate; the broader role of the NHS in society; finance; and assessing progress and providing stability. (Edited publisher abstract)
