Homes for the aged will also be expanded and
1600 additional places are planned by 1982/83. Whenever
possible, a care and attention section should be
included in thèse homes to avoid the need to relocate
the elderly when their health deteriorates since this
is a disturbing experience for the individuals involved.
The longer term planning targets for institutional
facilities will be reviewed when an assessment can be
made of the effects of improved community support services
and cash benefits for the elderly.

Advice will be available in the field from
the Social Welfare Department's district offices on
operating these institutions. The Department's Development
Division will also assist the voluntary sector in planning
for institutional facilities and is conforming with
agreed standards. It may be possible to prepare standard
plans for these facilities to minimise the planning
efforts involved.
