    The Ministry for Active Ageing wants to raise a discussion on the introduction of Assistive Tracker Devices (ATD) for older persons residing at St Vincent de Paul Residence (SVPR) and at Care Homes administered by Active Ageing and Community Care (AACC).  This consultation paper is meant to increase the level of transparency by:
     
    • Bringing into the discussion the expertise, perspectives, and ideas for alternative actions of those directly affected.
    • Identifying unintended effects and practical problems; and
    • Providing a quality check on the administration’s assessment of costs and benefits.

    The Ministry emphasises that if ATD is introduced in the future, a multidisciplinary and holistic approach will be taken. 

    The Ministry for Active Ageing is inviting the public to give their views about Assistive Tracker Devices (ADT). This online consultation is part of a broader stakeholder consultation process that will contribute to the presentation of a full synopsis report that will provide overall conclusions on the issues raised in this Consultation Paper, with a qualitative analysis covering online replies, as well as the analysis of positions papers received from stakeholders.

    You may take part in the Public Consultation by visiting the website: publicconsultation.gov.mt or send your response on the email [email protected].   The Ministry will receive comments and suggestions up to Friday 7th July 2023.
