Written and oral evidence submitted to the House of Commons Health Select Committee's inquiry into the management of long term conditions

This submission focuses on one of the issues the Committee wishes to examine: the implications of an ageing population for the prevalence and type of long term conditions, together with evidence about the extent to which existing services will have the capacity to meet future demand. The submission gives evidence on: • The rise of ‘new’ ageing populations (NAPs) and associated long term conditions • Psychosocial needs of these populations • Professional careers and service provision for NAPs • Prescription charges • Research and recommendations
