A new report commissioned by the Govenment of Biscay lays the fundations of a new, empowering, accessible and quality care model that respects older people’s rights, dignity and diversity. “The kind of care we all would like to receive at any moment of our lives when we may need it”. We contributed to the report and the recent launch event in Brussels.
In 2020, in collaboration with AGE Platform Europe, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia set up a group of European academic experts to help designing a long-term care model that allows sustainable and quality care. The group, made of six experts, prepared a report under the leadership of Professor Sarah Harper, University of Oxford. Last 8 September, this report was officially launched in the European Economic and Social Committee and discussed with a European wide audience. This release coincided with the release of the European Care Strategy by the European Commission.
