Public bodies get warned by older people's commissioner

In case the public service providers do not do what they are supposed to do then they can face a legal action, the Older People's Commissioner for Wales said.

If local authorities fail to comply with guidance then Sarah Rochira says they could be taken to court.

Various areas like public toilets and transport etc were cited by her, totaling to about 50, in which big difference can be made with small changes.

It has been about 100 days since she has been at this position and she is all set to help about 710,000 old people in Wales.

She said that independence of these people were being put at risk with a cut in public services and also made older people in Swansea vulnerable.

The region has about 8000 socially isolated people and wit services like food and fuel becoming more and more expensive, the danger for these people was rising and they were left with few choices to make.

She said that the public services were falling tremendously short in taking care of the old people.

Old people across Wales got to meet her as part of her new engagement road show, launched on her first day in post.

She said, "Improvements must be made to our public services to ensure that they reflect the needs and voices of older people, wherever they live in Wales."
