Thanks for that, for the assignment tho, we need to set up a power point presentation on the health needs of older people, (hypothetically we are meant to present it to the government to get funding for that group of people). Do you have any suggestions on what i could discuss, eg the disadvantages older people face? Thanks

The AIHW website has really good information abouyt all priority groups and statistics ... it would be useful for your assesment because that is usually where all the government health people get there information from....
