Newfoundland and Labrador’s Seniors’ Advocate has released the annual Status Report on Recommendations 2022-2023.

Twenty-five formal recommendations have been issued by the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate Newfoundland and Labrador to various provincial government departments and agencies. To date, 16 recommendations have been fully implemented, compared to 11 in last year’s report; seven recommendations are partially implemented; and two recommendations have no measurable advancement.

Overall, there has been considerable progress in government’s response to the recommendations of the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate in this reporting period. The percentage of implemented recommendations increased from 44 per cent last year to 64 per cent in 2022-23.

As it relates to recommendations partially implemented or not implemented since 2019, the Seniors’ Advocate continues to monitor progress on the outstanding recommendations until satisfied that all are appropriately addressed.

Quote
“I am pleased that the reports and recommendations of the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate have not just sat on government shelves collecting dust. While there is still work to do, I am encouraged by the efforts of the provincial government’s departments and agencies to improve programs and services for seniors. I sincerely appreciate all efforts made thus far and look forward to seeing continued progress over the coming year.”
