Our response to new ons population figures

Gordon Lishman‚ Director General of Age Concern‚ said:

“Not only is the average Briton getting older‚ but we are also facing longer periods of ill health in later life.

“The Government must face up to the reality of an ageing population and make a firm commitment to improve health services‚ like mental health and foot care‚ which enable people to stay independent for longer.

“So long as the Government makes appropriate plans‚ later life‚ can‚ for most of us‚ be a time to try new things‚ meet new people and be worry free.”
