Powerful report showing failures in nations including UK to address mental health in later life are unfair, costly and missing vital opportunities to offer effective help. We agree @centreformh.bsky.social and call on UK Government to include this in 10 year plan later this year
Our new #MindTheAgeGap report published today finds that:
🟢 Ageism reduces older people's access to mental health services
🟢 A person loses 7.2 days a year to poor mental health
🟢 4.2% of GDP is lost to mental health conditions across the OECD

Meeting the needs of older people in prison
The number of older people in prison has mushroomed over the last two decades. In 2002 there were 4,824 people aged 50 or over in prison, 7% of the prison population.

After 40 years of improvement, ONS stats published today show life expectancy for both men and women fell in 2021 to 2023. Just one in six girls and one in ten boys born in 2023 are expected to live to 100 - in 2016, "one in three of today’s babies will live to see their 100th birthday".
