| Annotation | This article reflects on the ageist attitudes that hold sway in the intellectual debate over long-term nursing care. The claim of cradle to grave health care is being undermined with older people seen as economic dependents, savings being means tested, and continuing care places being cut. For society to be seen as fair, the principle that no one should be disadvantaged by circumstances such as age must be reinstated at the heart of the NHS. |
