Extract:
"The report "Age of equality? Outlawing age discrimination beyond the work place" said these in-built discriminatory regulations, as well as unfair practices and ageist attitudes, meant older people often receive reduced care.
Calling for legislation to promote equality, Gordon Lishman, the director general of Age Concern, said: "Older people can be openly and unfairly discriminated against because of their age. It means they can be denied life-saving or life-enhancing treatment.""
