Recommendation 11

We recommend the establishment of a unit of data and policy analysts within the Cabinet Office’s Office of Equality and Opportunity to build an evidence base on the key cross-departmental challenges, including intersectional issues, facing older people now and in the coming decades. This unit should be established with a view to informing the development of a UK government cross-departmental strategy on demographic change and ageing, which the Government should consult on and publish during this Parliament. (Recommendation, Paragraph 108)
