| Annotation | Just over 17% of Wales' population is aged 64+, a higher proportion than for the rest of the UK. Research also indicates that for some people in Wales aged 50+, poor housing, poverty, poor nutrition, lack of opportunity for employment and inadequate transport are very real concerns. Such factors were identified in the Assembly Government Advisory Group report, "When I'm 64 ... and more" (May 2002). The present document examines the reasons why a Commissioner for Older People is needed; considers the role and remit such a Commissioner might fulfil; and examines what powers would be necessary to support the recommended responsibilities and duties, along with issues of accountability.
