Health and Social PolicyNovember 2005 Health and Social Services for Older People II (HeSSOP II):
Changing Profiles from 2000 to 2004 This report provides valuable information on the health status and behaviour of older people living in the community. It builds on an earlier study published by the Council (HeSSOP I) in order to describe changes in health and mortality of older people, together with changes in their health, behaviour and service useage over a four-year period. It does this in two ways: by repeating in 2004 a survey first conducted with different old people in 2000 and also by reinterviewing a group of over 300 people in 2004 who had already been interviewed in 2000. The study, therefore, incorporates the first longitudinal data on older people in this country. Click here for the full text: Health and Social Services for Older People II (HeSSOP II):

September 1997 The Years Ahead Report: A Review of the Implementation of its Recommendations One of the terms of reference of the National Council for the Elderly (which preceded the National Council on Ageing and Older People), was to advise the Minister for Health on the implementation of the recommendations of The Years Ahead report. A study was commissioned by the Council to review the extent to which these recommendations have been implemented, to evaluate current policy on the care of older people and to identify effective care practices for the future. This report explores the impact which implemented recommendations have had on services for older people and the reasons for non-implementation in cases where recommendations have not been acted upon. It also examines recent developments, which have influenced policies on the care of older people.
