We want to make a real impact on the Health Budget for 2025. In order for Government to plan Budget 2025 accurately, we must remind them of the reality of growing older in Ireland and the numerous hardships older people are now facing. People are living longer and numbers of older people are rapidly increasing. We have a right to live a healthy life and sufficient access to healthcare and support which can help us to age in place and reduce the pressure on our overloaded health system.  In order to do that, we need to hear directly from you and your lived experience within the Irish health system. We have put together a survey to assess both the immediate and long-term health needs of older persons in Ireland including medical, dental and homecare. The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes and your answers will directly impact our submissions to Government for 2025, i.e. we will ask for exactly what you need on your behalf. The more people we hear from, the more precise these asks will be.
