Older Person's Health

Healthy Ageing, Integrated Support 2006 - Older Persons Health Strategy
The Healthy Ageing, Integrated Support Strategy is the Canterbury's District Health Board's regional response to build on the Government's Health of Older People Strategy 2002. In 2005 the Canterbury DHB established a project to develop a strategy to provide the direction for the provision of health services for the elderly over the next five years. An expert stakeholder group consisting of older people, primary and community providers, specialist service providers and other related agencies such as the city council advised the project. The strategy is older person centred and promotes ageing in place by building service capacity in non-institutional areas which are integrated, flexible, holistic and efficient and building on an already strong service base for older people in Canterbury. The Canterbury DHB approved the strategy unanimously on 10 February 2006.
