More than three-quarters of people believe that the Government is "not ready" for the impact of an ageing population, a poll suggests.

The Ready for Ageing Alliance - which is made up of eight leading charities - called on ministers to take action after a poll conducted by older people's housing and care provider Anchor found that 77% did not think ministers were ready to cope with society's changing demographics.
