Abstract
Services to pensioners and how they might be improved. II. A report from Malmö. Bolin, A., Lindström, B., Sagnér, A. and Svanström, L. (Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Lund, and the Social Board of Malmö, Sweden).
As a follow-up to a previous article, the authors present an analysis of the services to pensioners in the 4th Welfare District of Malmö, as shown by their survey in 1972–1973, along with suggestions for improvement in various respects. They point to the importance of acquiring a general view of the individual and his situation. Various functions within the society's welfare program must be essentially improved, field work and adequate information being among the most important. Integration and coordination between the functional units must be operational concepts.
