support this proposal.
To increase
the provision of care and attention
definitely homes will definately improve
the present situation of long waiting lists on the central register for room in a care and attention home. At the same time, it can also take care of the old people who are now staying in hos- pitals and who should have been stay- ing in care and attention homes. doing so,it will help the old people and will spare vital` hospital beds for

improved to & per thousand elderly, there will still be shortfalls. Based
on demand and supply situations, in
Was
for
1987/88, the shortfalle care and att- ention beds will be 3,731, in 88/89, the number will be 3,338, and in 89/90, the shortfall is 2,833, for 90/91, the short fall is 2,648. Until 91/92 the short-
ange
fall will still be 886, so the shortfall is serious. I call upon the Government
to speed up the building programme for care and attention homes in order to meet these shortfalls. Apart from this, I would call upon the Medical and Health Department as well as the Social Welfare Department to strengthen their co-ordin- ation in the provision of elderly
services so that resources can be,,suit-
the
ably deployed for the benefit of old people.
