Town halls are guilty of ‘age discrimination’ because they are under-funding vital services for the elderly by at least £500million a year, a report says today.
The report found older people are offered a limited range of services in comparison. Local authority phone contact lines can also screen out older people needing home care without passing them on for a full assessment – which is unlawful.
