Annotation	The introduction of 'The strategy for older people in Wales' in 2003 has received international recognition, as it has challenged discrimination and negative stereotypes of ageing as well as celebrating longer life as an opportunity. The Welsh Assembly Government has committed itself to a 10-year strategy. This document summarises key achievements of the first phase. It outlines the key strategic objectives for the second five years from 2008 to 2013, focusing on four themes, each with a broad strategic aim. First, valuing older people: maintaining and developing engagement (and promoting positive images of ageing). Second, changing society: the economic status and contribution of older people. Third, well being and independence. Lastly, making it happen and the implementation of the strategy. An Implementation Plan identifies 20 items supporting the Strategy. The report is in English and Welsh. (RH)
