This spring the Minister released a White Paper entitled, A New Agenda: Health and Social Services for Ontario's Seniors. It sets out a broad strategic plan for the care of the province's elderly now and in the future. Its central theme is assisting seniors to live active and independent lives in their own communities, in their own homes. "Successful implementation of an appro- priate system of services for senior citizens depends to a large extent on direct consultation at the community level," said Mr. Van Horne.
