We are pleased to present our draft Older People's Strategy - Older and Wiser and the draft Adult's Strategy incorporating the Better Care Higher Standards Charter for health, social care and housing in Bexley.

This is the first time that such comprehensive strategies have been produced, detailing services available to adults and older people in Bexley. The strategies have been developed with organisations working with adults and older people and their representatives and we therefore hope that you will welcome their publication and implementation. They are intended to illustrate not only the range of services available across health, social care and the community, but also the principles on which these are provided, based on the views and wishes of adults and older people in Bexley.

The strategies describe the national and local picture, set out the principles for service commissioning and provision, give information about the services and how Bexley residents can access them. These include specialised social care services and the related eligibility criteria for new applicants for 2007/08 which have been reviewed and set in order to ensure services are targeted at those in most need and efficient and effective use of resources by the Council.
