Older People

It is important for older people to stay active and healthy. In Leeds we have consulted with older people and they have told us promoting health, preventing ill heath and maintaining independence are issues they would like us to focus on. NHS Leeds is working in partnership with a range of organisations to make move this agenda forward.
