We would recommend a greater awareness of international context (D4) to help settle this question. We would reiterate that while this may suffice for the short term, the Aging Society Grand Challenge to the future shape of the economy may prove so politically central that the aforementioned stopping of the buck may ultimately be optimally placed at the top tier of government, in order to allow for what may prove to be the necessary degree if cross sector coordination as the industrialisation of Longevity progresses.
RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
“We recommend that the cross-government strategy explicitly addresses the issue of reducing inequalities in healthy ageing, without ‘passing the buck’ to wider Government goals or statutory obligations. In producing the strategy, the Government should seek wide input from stakeholders; most importantly, from older people. (Paragraph 380)”
