| Annotation | In 1997, Chase Manhattan Bank jointly held a conference with Age Concern England (ACE) to determine how the financial services industry could contribute to the Millennium Debate of the Age (MDA). The conference agreed to set up a working group (the Gleneagles Group) of industry experts to write a report for MDA. This report identifies ways in which the private sector and the State can work together to meet the needs of older people in the 21st century, for both income and long-term care costs. Comments are within the context of Government proposals to introduce Stakeholder Pensions, and also concern the report of the Royal Commission on Long Term Care. Recommendations are made that the Government should encourage more voluntary pensions provision, and that self-employed people should be able to buy into the Second State Pension with the option of contracting-out into private pensions and long-term care insurance.
