Better Later Life Action Plan 2025-2028

The Better Later Life Action Plan sets out the Government's priorities and commitments to deliver the Better Later Life strategy.

The plan focuses on three priority areas: 

  1. Health and care services – helping people stay independent, connected and able to access services when they need them.

  2. Housing – ensuring older people have secure, warm, dry homes in the right place.

  3. Cost-of-living – supporting financial security and easing pressures for older people.
