Consultation(s) Responses by PRIAE
PRIAE is often found to be the only organisation to speak up on BME elder issues at consultation stages in both national and on the European age policy agendas. References to BME elders are often ignored at stages of policy development and influence, thus making implementation harder to respond adequately to BME elders issues and needs. (PRIAE's director, voicing concern at the meeting at European Parliament 2004).
