Warning that cuts will isolate Norfolk elderly
“Without this regular help, many older people could not remain at home and would lose ‘social engagement’ opportunities.”

Cuts to public funding are threatening community care and increasing the chances of older people in Norfolk becoming isolated, according to research carried out at the University of East Anglia.
A new study has revealed the vital role played by the public sector and volunteers in ensuring older people are able to live in their own homes.
And the study by UEA research fellow Dr Mayumi Hayashi’s warns dramatic cuts in public spending – and an assumption that the voluntary sector can pick up the pieces – will come at a time when the service needs to be enhanced, not reduced.
