Strategic Planning for an Ageing Population

Strategic Planning for an Ageing Population
That this Assembly recognises our ageing population and the challenges and opportunities this presents for public services; acknowledges the vital contributions of older people while recognising the pressures on healthcare, social care, housing, transport, and the economy; notes that failure to plan strategically will place unsustainable strain on public services, exacerbate inequalities, and impact the wider population; calls on the Executive to develop a cross-departmental strategy to ensure services are adapted and resourced to meet the needs of an ageing society; and further calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to embed ageing population planning in the final Programme for Government 2024-2027, to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience in public services.
