Fiji's elderly can expect better social protection as Government is currently developing a National Policy Framework.
Social Welfare Minister Dr Jiko Luveni said the Policy will include health care, transportation, long term institution care, support arrangements for family caregivers and support for the disabled.
She said that a Work Plan has been finalized with the first round of consultation to start on Wednesday.
The consultation will also include government ministries, town councils, academic institutions, corporate agencies and NGOs.
The first consultation will be held next week on Wednesday 28th July 2010 at the Parliamentary Complex in Suva.
