Independent living on Citizens’ Assembly agenda

It will be the first of two meetings of the assembly at which the subject of ageing will be discussed and follows a recommendation by its chair, Ms Justice Mary Laffoy, who said a further weekend was needed for a thorough debate. The agenda will focus on long-term care and independent living.
During the day, members will hear from elderly people living independently or in long-term care, along with medical, statistical, and social care practitioners.
