Budget 2022

Copy of ISCP Budget 2022 PDF

Budget 2022 will be announced on the 12th of October. Life under Covid-19 has been particularly difficult for older people, with existing structural issues exacerbated by the pandemic. The lack of an increase to the state pension in previous budgets along with insufficient funding for health and homecare supports, has left many older people suffering from financial insecurity.
