Abstract
Summary Tb address the inability of the elderly to travel for shopping, a scheme of teleshopping for social service clients was developed and tested in Gateshead and Bradford. Both schemes included information services and met with considerable success. After government cutbacks, private industry moved in, building on the public experience. Resistance to teleshopping services relate to psychological reasons, traditional elderly services, and other factors, but future possibilities for expansion in the public sector are being explored.
