| Annotation | The country needs to plan for an ageing population. Will the political parties use the next election to engage in a public debate on the choices in our ageing society? Age Concern's manifesto discusses five priorities. First, attacking pensioner poverty by providing a basic pension, to be uprated each year. Second, ending discrimination against older people - by law - in work, health, public services, and as consumers or volunteers. Third, tackling ageist attitudes and practice in the NHS and public services. Fourth, providing essential personal care at no charge, in any setting. Lastly, investing in accessible, affordable, reliable public transport. (RH). |
