Older people at the seaside

November 18th, 2008 by Malcolm Payne


For some reason, an MP asked how many older people there are in the main seaside towns. The answer is an interesting table, which shows that Sidmouth wins the prize. Presumably such statistics as these might give us a clue to needs in different towns for end-of-life care, since most people in the end-of-life phase are elderly.

The answer here or look in Hansard: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200708/cmhansrd/cm081117/text/81117w0054.htm#08111833000013
