§ 4 Survey by the National Institute for Health and Welfare on the development of the functional capacity of older people, coping at home and supporting caregivers

THL is asking municipal councils for the elderly to respond to a survey that will map development needs and means to promote the well-being and health of the elderly, their functional ability, their ability to cope at home, and support caregivers. The information collected will be used in the preparation of the health promotion funding application.

Petteri Orpo's government program states that the municipal health promotion budget will be increased and allocated to supporting the functional capacity of older people, coping at home, and caregivers. The state's health promotion budget will support pilot and development projects in health promotion. The budget can be used to grant state grants to organizations, foundations, municipalities, and other actors.

Responses are requested by February 16, 2024.
