Annotation	One of the Mayor of London's manifesto commitments for the 2004 elections was to deliver an older people's strategy for London. This highlights document outlines the fifteen areas for that strategy. Four are identified as priorities: challenging perceptions and promoting the contribution of older people; pensions and income; supporting community services; and promoting good quality health and social care. The other policy areas are: empowering older Londoners; access to employment (in this instance, covering all people aged 50+); age equality; volunteering; culture and leisure; transport; crime and personal safety; e-Government and access to new technologies; housing and homelessness; fire safety in the home; and environment.
