title: Voices in the valleys.
abstract: In Wales, as throughout Britain, older people were looking forward to October 1 - the day the government promised free long-term care. But everywhere they have been let down. Older people clearly feel they are entitled to free care through the National Insurance contributions they have paid, and here in Wales, Age Concern Cymru (ACC) is asking for all personal and nursing care to be provided free to older people, funded from taxation.
authors.affiliation: In gerontology, a trustee of Age Concern Cymru and was an RCN Council member for Wales.
