  1. We advocate that a quality gerontology policy be developed for our growing elderly population

  5. We advocate that policies for the care of the elderly be simplified, uniform and co-ordinated by relevant state departments.
  6. We undertake to resist administrative partitioning which might involve inequalities in the care offered to elderly people.
  7. We consider that care of the elderly represents an important and significant source of economic activity and employment which will increase in the years to come, and that it is deserving of being developed to a similar level enjoyed by our EU counterparts.
  8. We undertake to play a responsible part in matters of gerontology and to take
    an active part in the collective effort to establish a quality gerontology policy.
  9. We promise to uphold the dignity, independence and care needs of the elderly maintained in our home.
  10. We pledge to uphold the “Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion 1986” where it states:

“ Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase their control over and to improve their health.  To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well being, and individual or group must be able to identify and to realist aspirations to satisfy needs and to change or cope with the environment”
