| Annotation | The report looks at how the process of devolution from 1998 to 2007 has affected ageing policy. While its content pre-dates many of the most recent political developments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, it provides the context for influencing the new administrations following the 2007 elections. The report discusses the demographic situation underlying the policy environment in different parts of the UK, and the distribution of policy functions to and across UK jurisdictions following devolution. It looks at the broader structural features of devolution: the appendix lists the territorial division of those functions as they relate to ageing. The report sets out the policy directions on ageing and older people pursued by the devolved administrations and prospects for any changes. The report is thus an important resource for organisations with an interest in older people in England, since it explains the links between English and 'reserved' UK policy, and describes how policy-making in England interacts with processes in the rest of the UK.
