I thank Mr. Macey for being here. I go back to the question on targeted measures. Mr. Macey indicated that affordable healthy diets are out of reach for many families. Sadly, due to the cost of living and other factors, it is safe to include older families in that. I am Sinn Féin spokesperson for older people, but I would like to do more to encourage healthy eating among people of all ages. Can Mr. Macey elaborate on what targeted measures he would advocate that would help with access to improved diets and information for our elderly?
