22915 (2024). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister of Corrections: What progress, if any, has been made in the quarter January–March 2024 in implementing the goal ‘All older people are offered timely and through health assessment to maintain their health and wellbeing', as part of the Ageing Well Action Plan?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I am advised that this is part of an immediate action in Corrections’ Ageing Well Action Plan, which is underway. Corrections has developed an updated Ageing Well assessment process to support an age appropriate and targeted assessment for older people under its management. This assessment is specifically designed to assess and meet the needs of age-related changes. An associated policy document and guidance have been developed to increase staff understanding of the assessment intent and process.
