Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Leslie Taylor (Labour). It was answered by Michael Jabez Foster (Labour) on Thursday, 3 December 2009 on behalf of the Women and Equalities.
Age Discrimination (Public Services)
- Question
- What steps she plans to take to reduce the incidence of age discrimination in the provision of public services.
- Answer
-
The Equality Bill will prohibit unjustifiable age discrimination in the provision of goods and services and outlaw the discrimination and unfairness that still persists against older people in social care, NHS services and insurance company services. We particularly welcome the work of the Department of Health and the findings of the south-west review of age equality, which will join the anti-discrimination efforts from 2012 onwards.
