<p>While the work required to protect our older generation stretches across the whole
of Government, individual departments take responsibility for the delivery of relevant
policies within their jurisdictions. The Department of Health and Social Care has
jurisdiction over policy levers that relate to the physical and mental health of the
older generation. The Department of Work and Pensions also has a strong role to play
in its allocation of pensions and benefits. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing
and Communities has a taskforce that aims to improve the housing options for older
people. Furthermore, the Cabinet Office’s Equality Hub leads on the Equality Act 2010,
which provides strong protection from age discrimination in a variety of settings.</p>
