Question

Asked by

Lord Ashley of Stoke

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will establish a directory of organisations which offer services and help to older people. [HL3979]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and Department for Communities and Local Government
(Lord McKenzie of Luton)

There are currently no plans to establish such a directory. However, we recognise that the information on services and help available for older people needs to be improved. This will be one of the key issues we are addressing in the forthcoming ageing strategy.
