Deputy Elaine Millar, Minister for Social Security said: “I am delighted we are acting at pace and delivering our next Closer to Home event this month. This is a fantastic opportunity to share the services that are available for our older community and enable them to learn more about these in one place. Along with the Chief Minister, I am also looking forward to providing more details about the Older Persons Living Forum and working together with our older community going forward.”
