DescriptionRichmond U3A's Current Affairs group held discussions based on the Millennium Debate proposals. These were Health & Care, Paying for Age, Work & Lifestyles, Values & Attitudes and The Built Environment. The group came to a number of conclusions on the type of changes necessary if an ageing population is to function more effectively. They felt the prevailing value system was one of the major influences on attitudes, priorities and allocation of resources.
