LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
Retirees welcome the allocation of more funding in the Federal Budget to improve the quality and safety of the aged care system and some additional measures to retirement savings.
The Royal Commission into Aged Care highlighted the need to allow the aged to have greater control over their care and for providers of residential aged care to improve the quality and safety of the care delivered.
It is pleasing to see the Budget allocation to lift the standards of residential aged care and reduce the abuse in aged care homes.
The additional 80,000 new home care packages are welcomed as the waiting lists will be reduced substantially.
