I refer to the Government’s
An Age-friendly WA: The Seniors Strategic Planning Framework 2012–2017
released late last year and I ask:
(a) given this framework sets the course of the Minster's Government for our ageing population for the next five years how is it that the strategy allocates responsibility for various components of the framework to a range of government agencies but none for the Minster's own;
(b) does the Minister concede that there is only handful of staff in your Department to coordinate this important policy challenge; and
(c) does the Minster also concede this framework is unfunded?
