- Description
- There is fresh concern about family members cashing pension cheques belonging to elderly persons who have been abandoned at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital or are living at state-care facilities.
Government’s Special Advisor on Elder Affairs, Cynthia Forde, says it continues to be a vexing situation.
She believes the cheques should be going towards the facilities where the elderly persons are receiving long-term care.
The former Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs was speaking on CBC’s Q100.7 FM Let’s Talk About It radio show this morning.
Ms. Forde says it is always a painful experience to hear about thousands of dollars in pension cheques being cashed, with none of the funds spent on the recipients.
