Department of Health needs a broader non-health view on older people's needs

One of the good things about the Department of Health's new Director General for Social Care and blah blah (Jon Rouse) is that he has good experience of social housing - this is a really important link for the Department of Health to make for services for older people. The DH is far to health-oriented - it needs to have a broader view about what is important for older people in the whole range of public services.
