New Zealanders needing aged care support and the people who care for them will be worse off if the Government pushes through a flawed and rushed redesign of dementia and aged care.
“The Government is squandering an opportunity to improve the lives of those who need residential care, their families and carers unless it pauses work on the redesign of the aged care system,” says Labour seniors spokesperson Ingrid Leary.
“Labour members of the Health Select Committee back the call by the Aged Care Association Chief Executive Tracey Martin to pause the aged care sector redesign and undertake a process with greater transparency.”
