The Local Context
Dorset Population c. 400,000
Largest percentage of older people in the country – 29.3% aged 60+ in Dorset compared to 20.9% nationally
Christchurch - 36.1% of the population aged 60+
Dorset POPP Focus aged 50+
Aim of Dorset POPP
To work with older people to develop supportive neighbourhoods where older people can live and receive appropriate, timely help and support to stay within local communities for as long as they wish
Over a two year period POPP will support and develop positive interventions and preventative actions identified by local people. This will ensure cost savings on the provision of acute services, and on the take up of hospital bed spaces, which in turn will be clawed back into supporting a sustained POPP into years 3 and 4
Dorset POPP Partnership The project is a partnership between
Older people Voluntary organisations District Councils County Council NHS and PCT
With co-operation and commitment on the Steering Group from Police, DFRS, Housing providers....
