| Annotation | The report sets out the strategies for tackling social exclusion and poverty, but the emphasis is on the progress made in the last four years since a variety of initiatives have been implemented. These include policy priorities and key initiatives for identified groups such as pensioners. Key initiatives for older people are: pension reform; a new Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG); action to tackle fuel poverty; development of a National Service Framework for Older People; improving access to key services; tackling crime; action to improve access to cultural and leisure services; and an Inter-Ministerial Group on Older People. Progress on each is indicated but for some it is too early to see the impact, especially the MIG. A glossary of terms is included. (RH/KJ). |
