Social care - the facts and figures

Many of us will require some level of care when we get older. Life expectancy has plateaued, and there are a growing number of people spending their later lives in poor or failing health.

Within the next decade, the number of older people will have increased to 13 million, nearly a quarter of the population.

The need for better, more comprehensive care in later life continues to deepen.
