Point of comparison: The Committee is very specific about the need to better define local and national roles, which would be a necessary first step to greater coordination across municipalities. However, the extent to which health metrics are a reflection on UK government strategy is reduced by the ability to circulate in and out of devolved jurisdictions such as Scotland and Wales where the applications of the strategy is curtailed - this question has been left out of the main document as though for the sake of simplicity but it directly influences the merits of recommendations pertaining to metrics.
RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
Aging Analytics Agency recommends seeking means for greater levels of coordination among municipalities rather than seeking to solve the problem through recentralisation. A one-solution-fits-the-whole-nation approach may not be a good idea, given the diversity of factors such as population density, and the fact that some municipalities such as Manchester have what amounts to their own partial, localised ageing industrial strategies. Also the nature of the Ageing Society grand challenge necessitates close coordination across the four Home Nations, as Industrial Strategy applies in its entirety only to England while the population it is concerned with circulates freely throughout the British isles.
