13437 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Associate Minister of Health: Does the Minister agree with Warick Dunn, deputy chair of the NZ Aged Care Association, that some government funded aged-care facilities are older and "pretty challenging" environments for their residents, and if not, why not?

Hon Casey Costello: Some aged-care facilities are older and consequently, do not feature the same design standards as newer facilities.
