| Annotation | The National service framework for older people (NSF) Standard One, Rooting out age discrimination, states that "NHS services will be provided, regardless of age, on the basis of clinical need alone. Social care services will not use age in their eligibility criteria or policies, to restrict access to available services". This guide provides for the initial identification of age-based policies within the National Health Service (NHS) to help ensure compliance with the first milestones for action within Standard One on the NSF for older people.
