Under the Scheme of Community Support for Older People, which was suspended on 7th April pending a review of the Scheme, personal alarms and other security devices were eligible for support. The review of the Scheme will look at the range of issues, including the types of equipment that might be supported under a revised Scheme. The review is currently underway and I hope to be in a position to launch a revised scheme in the Autumn.
