Read article about SOPA in today's National
An article in The National today coincided with the Assembly meeting in the Debating Chamber of the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Older People’s Assembly held its 8th national assembly, with the debate leading to actions that it hopes will influence and shape policy, service planning and implementation at the Scottish Parliament.
The key topics for debate reflect the issues raised during SOPA’s 16 meetings this year from Dumfries to Orkney including the improved quality of life for older people in a home and at home through community links and the negative impact of major changes to the state pension.
