Three older people ‘dying every hour for lack of care’
At least 74,000 older people will have died between the 2017 and 2019 general elections while waiting for social care – equivalent to three deaths every hour, AgeUK is warning. The charity wants whichever political party wins the 12 December election to put an extra £8bn into the system over the next two years in order to prevent further declines in care and support services.
