A minister for older people? Part of 'When I'm 65'

You and Yours

Countries like Canada, New Zealand and Ireland all have a dedicated Minister for Older people. So why don't we? Part of the When I'm 65: The Ageing Season. In conjuction with ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ One, You and Yours will have a series of features covering everything from positive ageing, exercise, care, work to education and more. John Simpson talks about his fears for the future, Ann Widdecombe shares some pearls of wisdom on exercise and Nick Hewer will talk about working past the retirement age. And Lesley Joseph talks about the challenges of being a carer. If you miss them they'll be available as clips and as a weekly podcast. If you're over 65, or about to be, send us your thoughts and experiences via email or twitter using the tags #whenim65 #youandyours.
