Last week, the First Minister published that my title from now on will be the Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care. By making my role more prominent and clear, I will be able to proceed to establish an approach across the Government on older people’s issues. I am confident that the work programme that we’ve agreed on with the commissioner will build on our transformative legislation and strengthen the rights of older people.

I want Wales to be the best place to age in: a country where the voice of older people is heard, their contribution to society is valued, and they have the support that they need to live satisfied lives. Thank you very much.
