Abstract
More older people than ever before can look forward to many years of healthy life after retirement. Reflecting the priority the Scottish Government places on optimising the quality of later life, it has included in the National Performance Framework (NPF) a National Outcome that ‘Our people are able to maintain their independence as they get older and are able to access appropriate support when they need it’ (National Outcome 15).
