| Annotation | 'Less equal than others' is informed by more than 450 submissions made by older people and their family members, and the resulting dossier was presented to Government in September 2007 to convince them of the urgent need for legislation to end age discrimination. In this executive summary, Help the Aged concludes that more than four out of five older people in the UK want age discrimination to be made illegal; and more than nine in ten say that a single public sector equality duty should be extended to cover age. It outlines findings on six themes: healthcare, public life, insurance, social care, the marketplace, and information. (RH). |
