The answer

Answered by Nicola Sturgeon on 13 Mar 2012 · 27 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Older People’s Assembly is run by older people, for older people, and its purpose is to be a voice for older people in Scotland. It was not set up by the Scottish Government, nor is it a Scottish Government organisation, but information about the Assembly and its Steering Group is at
http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/sopa2011.
The first Assembly was held in October 2009, and the Scottish Government provided funding of £31,016.32 in 2009-10, £30,000 in each of 2010-11 and 2011-12, and we have promised £30,000 for an assembly in 2012.
