New master plan for elderly care to be drafted
Social Development and Human Security Juti Krairiksh said he would speed up the drafting of a new master plan for elderly care and submit it for the Cabinet’s approval within a month.
Juti was speaking to reporters on Tuesday while accompanying a team of doctors from the Police General Hospital to provide medical checkups for residents of the Ban Bang Kae home for the elderly. The hospital provided free medical checkups for 240 residents of the home to make merit to mark the 67th birthday anniversary of His Majesty the King.
In drafting the master plan and subsequent operation plans, the Social Development and Human Security Ministry would take the results of research and opinion surveys undertaken conducted by various agencies into account, Juti said.
