Susan, on health aspects the problem is I think exacerbated by the growing awareness of mental versus physical health in older age. If we take dementia where 2/3 of those affected are women (who have historically lived longer than men though that gap is now diminishing) and an estimated one in three people over 65 will develop the condition per the Alzheimer's UK website, then it is potentially a wider problem for UK society than just being ill in a hospital bed. |
