Pain Relief for the Elderly 23 Dec 2008
Five million people aged 65 and over live in some degree of pain or discomfort

According to a report on pain and older people, published by Help the Aged, older people are more at risk of pain than other sections of the population, and often suffer without the appropriate assessment and treatment. Jane is joined by Baroness Julia Neuberger and Minister of State for Care services, Phil Hope, to discuss this growing problem.
