| Annotation | The Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) has undertaken a literature review of the likely costs and benefits of legislation to outlaw age discrimination in health and social care on behalf of the Department of Health (DH). The review distinguishes "ageism", an attitude of mind, from "age discrimination", an unjustifiable difference in treatment based solely on age. The review and three reports commissioned by the DH were published to coincide with the launch of the first draft of the Equalities Bill, and can be accessed via the CPA website (at http://www.cpa.org.uk/cpa/cpa_news.html). This briefing outlines the literature review's coverage and recommendations. (RH). |
