“The older you get, the more likely you are to have illnesses, and particularly when you get very old, to be frail and rely on other people to provide most of their care. All of that adds to the cost of adult social care.”
What Dr Julian Spinks has said
“With rare diseases, a lot of them, you have only got a very small number of people who are affected. So if you are a company devising a new treatment, to get your money back you have got to charge an awful lot of money.”
