I will turn to the amendments—there are a number of them. We won’t be supporting the Government amendments. We don’t feel that setting that cap of £50,000 reflects fairness in the system. We would prefer to see more progress towards putting an absolute end to this dementia tax that we currently have. Amendment 2, in our view, is irrelevant. The Welsh Government could reform the arrangements for care payments themselves, however much delay happens from the UK Government. Amendment 3 would delete our own amendment, although we have no opposition to the principles contained within amendment 3.

Turning to our own amendments, we have yet to be convinced of the need for a specific piece of legislation on the rights of older people. We need to secure the rights of everyone, of course. Also, of course, the human rights landscape is changing significantly at the moment, because of the UK Government’s intention to scrap people’s rights following the vote on Europe. Any legislation passed here could be replaced. So, that’s the reason for amendment 4.

Amendment 5 changes the wording of the original motion a little, but reflects our confidence in the older people’s commissioner in providing a voice for older people in Wales.

Amendment 6 recognises that there is a gap in semi-residential and supported housing at the moment, and that we need to fill that gap. And amendment 7 is one that we were keen to add, and it calls on the Welsh Government to work with the police and crime commissioners to prevent older people from suffering scams and fraud. We are aware, of course, that this is a huge problem—that aggressive selling and fraudulent selling actually damages older people’s financial well-being, as well as their health and mental well-being, and we have to tackle that.

So, there’s a great deal to be welcomed in this motion, and we certainly hope that we can make progress in terms of making Wales a nation where older people can feel that they can grow old in safety, which will mean that we are a dementia-friendly nation, that we protect older people from scams and fraud, as I’ve already mentioned, and ensure that our public services assist people to live independently for as long as possible and for as long as they choose to do that, and to do so with dignity and respect.
