That the Parliament notes that Safer Ageing Week runs from 11 to 17 November, with 2024's theme being "TAKE NOTE"; understands that the charity Hourglass is using this week to raise awareness of the economic abuse of older people, with reports of over £23.5 million having been stolen or defrauded from older people in 2023, with the average value stolen reaching as much as £87,000; further understands that, in Scotland, Hourglass’s support service helped 17 older people in 2023 who had a combined circa £1,035,300 stolen from them, an increase on previous years; believes that these figures are likely to be the tip of the iceberg, in light of under-reporting and the figures not accounting for factors such as property changing hands; understands that this abuse is most often perpetrated by family members and close friends, whom older people trust the most, and notes the calls for everyone to do what they can to prevent any such abuse and to report it if they are suspicious that this is happening.
