THE PENSIONER'S CHARTER
* Every man and woman on reaching state pensionable age will have the right to:
* A basic state pension set above the official poverty level and linked to average male earnings.
*A warm and comfortable home.
* Free health care treatment based on clinical need and an annual comprehensive health check.
* Free community care and services to assist living at home.
* Free long-term care.
* Free nationwide travel on all public and local transport.
* Free education, access to and participation in leisure and cultural activities.
* Goods, services and benefits without age discrimination.
* Active engagement and consultation on national and local issues affecting older citizens.
* Advocacy, dignity, respect and fair treatment in all aspects of their lives.
As a first step towards establishing these rights we call on the government to implement the Pensioners’ Manifesto."
