Government Policy and the Provision of Services for the Elderly: Statements.

 

Senator Minihan made a number of suggestions that should be considered. These matters are under consideration: a number of the schemes he mentioned are already under way. The Senator also referred to an incident in which an elderly person wanted to return a house – a valuable asset – to the local authority in lieu of senior citizen accommodation. There is a scheme in place that would meet the needs of the person concerned. If the Senator wants more information, I will be happy to give it to him. He also mentioned the area of transport. The Department of Transport has a number of schemes in which the Senator would be interested. Again, if he would like more information, I would be happy to provide it.
