Annotation	The Age Agenda is Age Concern England's annual report on and assessment of public policy on ageing and older people. It describes public policy developments and trends in 2007 and looks ahead to likely developments in 2008. The focus is on UK government policy. While it does not cover the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the report does refer to the impact of 10 years of devolution on older people. The report discusses the following policy areas: income and finance; equality and human rights; health and health care; care and care services; social inclusion; housing; and work and learning. Many of these themes are covered in a set of 28 key indicators demonstrating the impact of public policy on older people. ACE offers its assessment of 'A sure start in later life: government action plan', and lists the Public Service Agreements (PSAs) for 2004 and 2007. (RH).
