Government Policy and the Provision of Services for the Elderly: Statements.
There have been many debates relating to levels of pension payments to elderly people and a watchful eye needs to be kept on the area. Elderly people need to be looked after by the State and I urge the Government and the Minister responsible to continue this approach. The next time we are approaching a budget, let us dig in there. When Champagne Charlie wants to initiate cutbacks again, let the Minister of the relevant Department for once stand up and say that this will not happen, because these particular demands for funding are for the elderly people in our society.
