Policy Address

Expanding Elderly Services

72.    We will increase subsidised residential care places through those to be provided in new contract homes and the Enhanced Bought Place Scheme.  At the same time, we will provide additional subsidised day care places and home-based services to better support elderly people and their carers.  The District-based Trial Scheme on Carer Training has proved effective in enhancing carers' confidence and skills in looking after the elderly.  We will extend the Scheme to cover all districts.
