As part of Promoting Social Inclusion (PSI), a commitment was given in the Programme for Government that the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister (OFMdFM) would establish a working group to consider the factors that cause older people to be at risk of exclusion.
The PSI Working Group on Older People was established in 2002 and consisted of representatives from Northern Ireland departments, the wider public sector, the voluntary sector and organisations representing older people.
