Cabinet decided yesterday to establish a residential home for the elderly following the submission of a paper on the subject by the Ministry of Health and Family.
Ministers noted an increasing number of elderly people being transferred to the Guraidhoo Special Care Centre, which had insufficient accommodation available to new charges. The needs of elderly people being committed to such facilities varied considerably, cabinet noted.
The care home would be established under a Public-Private Partnership scheme, cabinet decided.
