In Old Age

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A You and Yours Special Managing on a pension is a problem at the best of times, and the older you are the worse it gets. All sorts of services for the elderly, from old people's homes to meals on wheels may-and probably will - suffer from cuts in public spending. Can voluntary services or community care bridge the gaps?
Nancy Wise discusses the problems with David Hob man Director of Age Concern; Michael Power. Senior Research Fellow in Social Administration, Bristol University; and Heather MacKenzie. Director of the National Council for the Single Woman and her Dependants, and looks for solutions.
