| Annotation | Older people living alone in social housing are under pressure to move and make way for larger families. The question is prompted, whose needs are greatest? Low rates of social house building, the right-to-buy policy, a greater number of single-person households, and a population that is living longer have all contributed to the shortage of social housing. Until answers are found to issues of overcrowded families versus older people's needs, then Government rhetoric on dignity, choice, well-being and equality will remain just that. (RH). |
