Health

What aspects of Health can we help with?

Older people are living longer more healthy lives and the Government is committed to ensuring that they get the same quality of health service as everyone else.

Health services are not just about treatment of medical problems but also about the maintenance of health and preventive medicine.

The Information & Advice Team will try to help you access the services you need, call us on 020 8861 7980.

We have information on Keep fit and exercise classes.
