| Annotation | The Deputy Minister for Social Services, Welsh Assembly Government gave the keynote address at the Annual Care Conference for Wales 2007. This article is the text of her address which provides an overview of the Welsh Assembly Government's perspective on the direction of the long-term residential care sector in Wales, and how this should be facilitated with partner organisations. She refers to progress with the 'Strategy for older people in Wales' (2003) and its next phase; the appointment of a Commissioner for Older People in Wales; and establishing a Care and Social Services Inspectorate for Wales in 2007. Among future work is a Dignity and Respect in Care programme, which will raise awareness and understanding of the key issues relating to dignity. (RH). |
