The debate will examine how services for older people such as pensions and social care can and should be funded in the future, the response to the Dilnot report and the net effect on social and economic growth from higher numbers of older people. In particular, the event seeks to investigate how older people’s views are best represented in government and how we can best sustain and strengthen the services older people rely on, particularly for the most vulnerable.
