The Government would enhance the quality of life and provide more assistance to socially vulnerable groups, the Chief Executive, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, said today. Mr Ho said this during visits to four social services centres, Caritas Macau, and a low-income family. The four centres are run by the Social Welfare Bureau, the Macao Federation of Trade Unions, the Women’s General Association of Macau and the Macao General Neighbourhood Unions Association. Mr Ho thanked them for their services and commitment to the community. The family Mr Ho visited is comprised of four members. The husband is above 60, and his wife was granted residence only last year. Their two children are aged four and five. The family live in a public housing unit and are social welfare recipients. The children are going to school and receiving book subsidies. Mr Ho said the Government would put a lot of attention to low-income families and provide the necessary assistance to them. He also said the aging population would give rise to an increasing demand for elderly services and the Government would step up co-operation with civil organisations to cope with the demand.
