Yr Uwchgynhadledd Fwyd Pobl Hŷn/Older People's food summit

"This Assembly, mindful of article 25(1) of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and bearing in mind the growing concern of malnutrition in an increasingly ageing population due to a wide range of factors; welcomes the Older Peoples Food Summit, including food retailers, local government, regulators, educators, the NHS, older people and carers as a vital step forward to finding solutions; and calls upon WAG to press the UK Government to include older people’s food access issues across all aspects of government policy and to do so in its forthcoming ‘Quality of Food Action Plan’".
