    Barely 3 weeks in the job, new Aged Care Minister Anika Wells is doing the work that has been neglected by the previous mob.

    Good to have progress so soon, but let's see how she goes with the rest.


    __________

    From the article:-

    New aged care minister Anika Wells has outlined her priorities and plans for the sector....

    Ms Wells has also committed to improving the quality of food and nutrition in residential aged care facilities after the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety found the average expenditure on food to be just $6.

    "Good nutrition can contribute to a reduction in falls, fewer infections and illness and, of course, overall happiness and wellbeing for older people. I will work with the aged care sector to develop minimum standards for food and nutrition in residential aged care facilities," she said.
