title: One voice: shaping our ageing society.
abstract: Michelle Mitchell, the newly appointed Charity Director at merged charity Age Concern and Help the Aged takes a look at the challenges a growing older age demographic will put on health and social care services. She suggests that the sector is facing a crisis and that decision-makers will need to act soon or risk failing older people in the future.
