Chief Minister Howard Quayle says the Isle of Man doesn't need a champion for the elderly.
He was asked by Onchan MHK Rob Callister in the House of Keys yesterday if he has any plans to appoint a representative for the older people.
In response, Mr Quayle said the Council of Ministers doesn't think such a post is needed.
He also said younger people need more representation than the elderly as they can't make choices for themselves.
