Description
The Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities first issued a national framework for high-quality services for older people in 2001, when such frameworks were a new form of informative guidance. The present revised framework incorporates current national strategies in old-age policy, assessments of the earlier framework, the latest research findings and recent changes in the operating environment.Content
