- Insert [top level commitments which don’t repeat above for example winter fuel payments, bus passes etc..]
- Social Care Commission to develop a sustainable structure of long-term care funding. Revision of the current welfare to work programmes, which must be very inclusive to older workers and must involve a commitment to challenging ageism in the workplace. It is also important that the new system does not punish people returning to work. The Energy Bill will give everyone access to energy efficiency measures to enable us to reduce both energy bills and carbon emissions. Along with cutting fuel bills, the Government must tackle fuel poverty, which affects many in later life. Health Bill, which intends to create a better experience for patients, is likely to have a large impact. Pensions and Savings Bill will link the state pension to earnings from 2011, with a ‘triple guarantee’ that pensions will rise by the highest of prices, earnings or 2.5%. The devolution of powers to local authorities and communities through the Decentralisation and Localism Bill could be a great opportunity for those involved in their communities.
