| Annotation | The argument is made for a new national strategy for older people in Ireland, embracing the UN Principles for Older Persons - independence, participation, care, self-fulfilment and dignity. The strategy should include these elements: citizenship; income and wealth; work and retirement; healthy ageing; independent living; self-image and identity; and policy implementation that builds on existing good practice and policy. The strategy must be developed in conjunction with older people themselves. (RH). |
