WI Resolutions 2016
Maureen Cook spoke on the first Resolution
Appropriate care in hospitals for people with dementia We call upon HM Government and the NHS to provide facilities to enable carers to stay with people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia that have been admitted into hospital.
Christine Bull spoke on the 2nd Resolution
Avoid food waste, address food poverty The WI calls on all supermarkets to sign up to a voluntary agreement to avoid food waste, thereby passing surplus food onto charities thus helping to address the issue of increasing food poverty in the UK.
Mary Andrews advised us of an amendment to this resolution that would replace 'supermarkets' with 'the food industry'.
The meeting supported both resolutions and the amendment and gave our delegate discretion on the vote .
