The Government's making moves on aged care reform - hoping to better meet New Zealanders' needs.
It's establishing a Ministerial Advisory Group to recommend changes to the aged care funding model - expected by mid-next year.
The group will also look at the changes needed to support integration between aged care and health and disability services.
Associate Health Minister Casey Costello told Ryan Bridge most people want to stay at home for as long as possible, so they want to develop a system that supports this.
