| Annotation | "Improving the life chances of disabled people", published by the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit (part of the Cabinet Office), sets out a long term strategy intended to ensure that disabled people are able to fully participate and contribute to society. While the strategy notes that many of its proposals could help older people, it is primarily about the needs of disabled people below pension age. Age Concern is critical of this point of view, and argues that older people should be included in measures to implement the strategy. This summary of its response outlines its reasons. A full version of this response can be obtained from Age Concern's website. (RH). |
