Paying for care in Wales

Here and here can be found transcripts regarding a workshop that took place in Llandudno on Monday 30 November 2009 about Paying for Care in Wales.

The consultation is ongoing and will effect everyone in due course of time, not just us oldies. We do need to ensure that the consultation, which is a public affair, is better known of because people need to know what is coming down the line in years ahead.

What is the Over 50s Forum?

Older Person We aim to influence govenment and Local Authority decisions, and to put the over 50s point of view to as many decision makers as possible. We also try to influence private business and inform them of our point of view.

To be better informed and better represented why not join us? Membership is free. Contact me for details.

We are a way for residents, groups and organisations in the 50+ age range in Wales to contribute your skills and abilities for the benefit of yourselves and your local communities.
