Residents across Ealing are being invited to take part in a community engagement initiative that lasts until 8 December 2024 which is looking at the provision of services and support to those aged 65 and over.
In a statement, NHS North West London said it has launched: “a review of the community services that are in place to support the frail population.”
Ealing residents can take part in an online survey to express their views by clicking here.
NHS North West London added: “Frailty prevalence is a growing concern, particularly among our older population. According to local health data, approximately 10-15% of the population aged 65 and above in north west London are living with moderate to severe frailty. This equates to roughly 160,000 individuals who require comprehensive and proactive care.”
“Currently, the level and type of care that you can receive can differ depending on which borough you live in. NHS North West London want to change this and wish to make sure there is a high quality and equitable community frailty service that is accessible for all residents aged over 18 and registered with a north west London GP practice.”
