My Department, in conjunction with the Department of Health, published the "Housing Options for Our Ageing Population" policy statement in 2019 which provides policy options in support of a range of housing and accommodation alternatives for older people. The policy statement, together with the third and final Implementation Group report, including an update on Action 4.6 as referred to in the Question, are available on the Government's website at: www.gov.ie/en/publication/83781d-housing-options-for-our-ageing-population-policy-statement/.
