A minister dedicated to the wishes and needs of older people would be a move in the right direction. The major problem is the removal of family ties. This change is societal but exacerbated by housing, pension, transport, health and fuel policies..

I respect Older people they give/have given so much to this country, retirement doesn't mean useless, many look after grand children so that their children can work & contribute to the country. Others do valued voluntary work to help various charity organisations. Older people are not useless & still give a lot to the community and country they live in, its about time older people had a fair deal & a louder voice representing them.

Now our miserable pension does not keep up with inflation, no support is available because of small savings which are getting smaller because of out of control bankers. On top of all that we are taxed a second time all money saved and pensions tax was paid when working. So much for the welfare system looking after us from cradle to death!
