The Government published a one year update report on 30 June 2014 in response to the House of Lords Committee on Public Service and Demographic Change Report in 2013 entitled Ready For Ageing?

This update report is a comprehensive guide to the work the Government is doing to start to tackle current and future issues on ageing. It reflects a number of reforms that have either been established or are underway in the last year that will make a real difference to older people now and to future generations. The report is attached and can be found at:
