Recommendation 9
9
Older people's interests are unheard, demonstrating the effectiveness of an independent Commissioner
Conclusion
Some older people do not feel that their interests are being heard in government decision making. Wales’ Older People’s Commissioner has made a substantial difference in areas including digital inclusion, care homes and access to GP practices. The Commissioner’s statutory powers of review give the role authority and it has been able to bring together organisations across sectors to work together to support older people. (Conclusion, Paragraph 57)
