Treatment of elderly condemned

The Government has been condemned by a leading charity for its treatment of the elderly.

Figures revealed by Help The Aged show that almost two-thirds of the population believes the Government does not take seriously pensioners' needs, and that this attitude has fuelled a sense of fear and rejection in both the old and the young.

The charity has challenged the Government to end the 'mockery' of old people, and is pushing for an outright ban on all forms of age discrimination.
