families. As no such facilities exist at present,
the voluntary sector will be assisted financially in
establishing two day care centres on an experimental
basis, catering for 80 people, to be operational in
1979/80. This will provide useful experience for
future development of this service.

Old people already have access to a wide range of
recreational facilities provided for the general
community. However, improved co-ordination, organiza-
tion and provision of special facilities such as
transport will be needed to encourage more old people
to make better use of existing community services.
The Urban Council has agreed to make available,
through bulk booking, tickets at concessionary prices
for programmes which are of particular interest to
the elderly.
(a)
Some social centres cater exclusively for the elderly
and are very popular. The Government plans to provide
an additional 117 social centres for the elderly by 1982/83 and eventually to achieve a target of one
centre for every 20,000 of the population.
(e)
Apart from health education, there will be pre-retirement
programmes for the elderly and other programmes aimed
at promoting a better understanding amongst the entire
community of the problems of old age. The latter will
be part of family life education.
Education of the
community is important not only to prepare young people
