Abstract

Fifty-five elderly people living in a small village were interviewed to discover the level of need for medical and social services and to establish the level of provision to meet that need. Contrary to expectations there was little perceived need and hence minimal contact with statutory services. This emphasizes the importance of adequate assessment of need before providing expensive social and rehabilitation services.
