Minister's social care ideas ignore the million childless over-65s | Kirsty Woodard

The idea that older people may not have family members who are able to help, or may have no family at all, seems not to have occurred to the government

This year, for the first time, more older people need care and support than there is family to provide it. In the UK, there are already 1 million people aged over 65 who do not have adult children. This figure will double by 2030, as one in five people over the age of 50 do not have children.The Guardian
