In April 2009, the then Secretary of State for Health asked Sir Ian Carruthers OBE (Chief Executive of NHS South West) and Jan Ormondroyd (Chief Executive of Bristol City Council) to consider what the new measures on age in the Equality Bill would mean for health and social care. The report of their review was published in October 2009 and made twenty-eight recommendations
Over two hundred people attended the consultation events, and around ninety written responses were made to the consultation paper. In general, the responses were supportive of the proposals.
The report of the consultation, Age Equality in Health and Social Care: A Report on the Consultation is now available here:
