HC Deb 30 July 1997 vol 299 c312W
16. Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what initiatives he is taking to consult elderly people on the use of public services. [9722]

Mr. Kilfoyle

I attended a forum of older people on 8 July. The participants discussed their use of public services, identifying key issues of concern, and ways in which new technology could be used to deliver services to older people. They also commented on an early draft chapter of a booklet we are producing with the Citizenship Foundation, Age Concern and Saga, which will cover rights as they relate to older people.
