Older People
The introduction of the Strategy for Older People in 2003-2008 was a landmark in Wales and has received international recognition for its vision and scope.

We have committed ourselves to a 10 year Strategy and this document outlines the key strategic objectives for the second 5 years from 2008-2013.

There is no quick fix to the challenges and opportunities presented by an ageing population. There must be sustained and serious effort over at least a 10-year period if we are to tackle the broad ranging and often inter-dependent issues where change is needed to benefit older people now and in the future.
