Proceeding contribution from Neil Turner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Health Inequalities.


Health Inequalities

Will the hon. Gentleman not recognise that although old people become ill and need care more, in areas such as mine, where there is severe deprivation, people reach old age earlier than they do in more affluent areas? A 70-year-old in an area with more deprivation may need the same level of care as an 80-year-old in a more affluent area.
