A short questionnaire was circulated last summer, asking for members’ opinions on when the Forum met and what issues were important to people. The Committee also invited members to make any other comments about the Forum that would be helpful. The Committee met informally on two occasions to take a look at the direction the Forum could take and its role in promoting the welfare of older people.
