Grey Power wants fast tracking of a Labour election campaign promise, to establish a watchdog for the aged care sector.

 In September last year Health Minister David Clark said an Aged Care Commissioner would be funded in the first budget of a Labour led government. That hasn't happened.  

Over the last decade a litany of complaints have been made against for profit rest homes and retirement villages. Grey Power National President Mac Welsh speaks to Kathryn Ryan.
