Housing White Paper: Ageing should have been front and centre
We welcome the reference to housing and ageing (p63) - but this was a missed opportunity to put the housing needs of our ageing population, front and centre.
Over the next 25 years, the proportion of households where the oldest person is 85 or over will grow faster than any other age group and homes that meet the needs of older people will be in greater demand.
