The Minister for Seniors, and Associate Health Minister, Casey Costello discusses the future for aged care.
This comes amid fears many small towns may end up with no beds for their frail elderly.
Last week a Wairoa social worker told Nine to Noon more than 50 whanau are caring for loved ones at home, because the town has no residential aged care beds or respite beds.
The Aged Care Association believes the government is planning to reduce funding for resthome beds at the same time as cutting in-home care to save money. Casey Costello responds.
