Reference to the NPF in paragraph 3.12 is general and it is not considered necessary to include specific reference to young people in this location. However, it is agreed that paragraph 3.14 could be amended to include refence to young people as well as older people.

In relation to Objective to 3.2, there is an opportunity to improve reference to older people a nd young people with a more simplified term of “population groups”.
