"Question no 4 by Elizabeth Lynne ()
In spite of the Toronto Declaration from the World Health Organisation and the United Nations' mention of the abuse of older people in the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing, Member States have implemented legislation that deals with the related issue of domestic violence but that omits specific reference to protection for vulnerable older people.
The private care sector, for example, is not sufficiently covered by the current legal framework in many Member States. This can be seen in the UK, where the Human Rights Act does not apply to those who receive privately-funded care.
Will the Council urge the Member States to close these legal loopholes and respect the basic human rights of their older citizens?"@en1
