Needs of Older People
9th August 2009
In the summer of 2009 Aperia worked with South Lakeland District Council and it partners to further look at the needs of the elderly.
This work took forward the findings of an earlier Aperia project in South Lakeland which captured the needs of older people through a combination of focus group work, interviews and workshops to produce a Circle of Need for older people.
That first project made a number of recommendations for improvement of access to services for the elderly and South Lakeland worked with Aperia and the Government Connect Programme to develop a more multi-agency model of services delivered to meet the needs of the elderly. This case study describes how the Government Connect Secure eXtranet (GCSX) is supporting a number of organisations who are working together in South Lakeland in Cumbria to improve access to services for older people.
