More details from petition creator

In June 2008, the UK government made an historic commitment to make age discrimination illegal across all areas of life and in the provision of goods, facilities and services, as part of its forthcoming Equalities Bill.

But so far the Government has not provided any date or any details on how this legislation will come into force.

Today older people can still be denied medical treatment, fair medical assessments, insurance and access to goods, facilities and services which are all accessible to the rest of society.

Help the Aged believes that it is more important than ever that the injustice that blights older people’s lives is outlawed.

By publicly stating when and how anti-ageism legislation will come into force, the Prime Minister will show that his government is still prepared to make ageism illegal in the same way that racism and sexism are.
