Better care for the elderly
HERE TO HELP: Decision makers from the health, social care and voluntary sector get together to improve services for the elderly in Hartlepool
IMPROVED services for the elderly have come under the spotlight at a summit in Hartlepool.
Experts from numerous sectors came together to look at how better arrangements can be put in place for older people in the town.
Mounting demands are being placed on services which cater for people with conditions such as stroke and dementia.
And with an increasingly ageing population, the NHS Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) held a summit is focusing on how improvements could be made for vulnerable elderly people in the area.
