Reform of health and social care complaints: proposed changes to the legislative framework (5th December 2008)
The complaints arrangements for health and social care are being reformed. Successive reports have found that some complaints take too long to resolve and services do not systematically try to learn from the important feedback that complaints offer. In addition, there is strong evidence that some people do not complain because they either do not know how to or believe doing so will not result in any action. There has been ongoing consultation about these plans since the launch of the 'Making Experiences Count' consultation in June 2007. Closing date for comments is 6th January 2009.

Preparing for our ageing society - a discussion paper (25th November 2008)
Within 20 years half of the adult UK population will be over 50. One in four children born today will live beyond 100. These are dramatic shifts that have far-reaching consequences for us all, and our ageing population will change our society in many ways. This discussion paper (from the Department for Work and Pensions), and a series of associated public discussion events, are part of the first stage of a review of the Government’s strategy for meeting the challenges of our ageing society. The next step will be the publication of a more detailed set of ideas in Spring 2009. The DWP want to discuss the issues to be addressed in the strategy and give you the opportunity to tell them what you think is most important for a fulfilling later life. Closing date for comments is 20th January 2009.
