The health and social care system is under severe stress, due to a lack of high quality social care which saps the resilience of NHS services and patients, Age UK has warned in a new report.

Over a third (35%) of those whose work is mainly or solely office based spend less than an hour on physical exercise a week, with 9% doing none, a survey by Age UK and Bupa has found.

Bupa has chosen Age UK as its partner charity for the next two years, with the aim of raising £1m for the charity.

The amount spent on social care has fallen nationally by £1.1bn since 2010/11 and £1.4bn since 2005/6, after accounting for extra money from the NHS, Age UK has found.

The financial services industry needs to do more to ensure that products are easily understood by customers, the managing director of Age UK Enterprises has said.

The number of older people living with cancer in the UK is set to treble by 2040 with increased demand on health services, Macmillan has reported.

The Association of British Insurers has thrown its support behind a Home Office announcement that imminent discrimination laws will not apply to the insurance industry.
