Government Policy and the Provision of Services for the Elderly: Statements.
I thank my good friend and colleague, Senator Feeney, for her kind comments, which are much appreciated. I particularly welcome her comments about respite care and day care. I concur with her view that tremendous work is being carried out by the providers of care at various levels throughout our community. I am delighted to hear the comments about the hospital to which she referred. The points she raised about the essential repair grant and the elder abuse will be considered by my Department.
