On page 51 of the programme for Government, it acknowledges that the impact of Covid-19 has been especially difficult for older people. It rightly states: "Learning from COVID-19, we will assess how we care for older people and examine alternatives to meet the diverse needs of our older citizens." When will the promised commission to examine care and supports for older people be established? Will the views of groups such as Sage Advocacy, ALONE and many other groups that provide support for our older people be considered in this?
