West Sussex Lifestyles of Older People Survey 2006

Synopsis:

The West Sussex Lifestyles of Older People Survey was conducted in partnership with the West Sussex Public Health Observatory and a range of West Sussex County Council departments. The survey was undertaken to understand the key health and well-being issues experienced by people aged 65 and over and received almost 50,000 responses.

Findings related to smoking, alcohol, contact with health services, concerns with antisocial behaviour and winter warmth. Social isolation, local hospital services and GP appointments were raised as issues of concern for many older people.
