answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2023 answer text <p>We fully support the three areas set out in the Age International Report. Health systems that deliver the full spectrum of health services from health promotion to palliative care, are responsive to the needs of all citizens, particularly through quality primary health care, and are grounded in a rights-based approach that promote participation and accountability, are essential for global progress on universal health coverage (UHC). These align with the action that the UK will advocate for at the 2030 High-Level Meeting. We appreciate the report's thoughtful and evidence-based highlighting of specific barriers faced by older people and we are working other Member States to ensure that the needs and rights of older people are clearly reflected in the 2023 High-Level Meeting's political declaration.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 13/09/2023 15:00:00 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
