Pensions & Social Care

Our elderly deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. For over 20 years the Tories and Labour failed to tackle the issue of Pensions and Social Care. The system is broken and time is running out. Since the 1950s, larger numbers of young people have funded the smaller numbers of elderly through the tax system. But people are living longer and the percentage of over 65s to the working age population has increased. This change has caused a major funding problem for our elderly and long – term sick.
