Planning the supply of aged care services: It's time to talk denominators.

CONCLUSION: The 70+ based ratio developed almost forty years ago has served its purpose reasonably well. However, changes in the nature of the aged care system, different patterns of use by age and sex, and demographic changes suggest that long-term aged care planning requires careful review in choosing a more robust version of the provision ratio for the future.
