| Annotation | John Elbourne, former Chief Executive for Prudential Assurance, was asked in May 2008, by the former Pensions Minister Mike O'Brien, to examine whether older people are currently able to inform Government policy and actions at all levels. This is the final report with its findings and recommendations of the independent review carried out by John Elbourne. The main recommendations of the review are: 1. To establish a national advisory forum for older people, to be chaired or co-chaired by the lead Minister for older people and supported by regional advisory forums. 2.Enhance the role that regional Government Offices play in supporting and developing engagement with older people. 3. Set up regional forums to support local authorities to develop effective engagement strategies so that a truly diverse range of older people's voices can be heard. 4. Build on the support for older people's forums around the UK, including the Older People's Advisory Groups. 5. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) should fund Better Government for Older People (BGOP), at current levels, until the end of March 2009. Comments on the review should be submitted to DWP by 9 January 2009 and the Government will respond by 30 January 2009. (KJ) |
