Yesterday we launched our Ageing in the North report in Parliament. It shows older people in the North are more likely to be poorer, sicker, inactive and in poor housing, costing the NHS billions. Great to have Anna Dixon MP for Shipley at the event and front page of the The Yorkshire Post

I attended the launch of the Ageing in the North report, highlighting inequalities older people in the North face compared to the South. Great to meet my constituents Jane McDermott, Elaine Unegbu and Alexis Darby, who contributed to this important work.
