Panorama - 1994x33 - The Greatest Nightmare- Followmy.tv

Is "the greatest nightmare" of being "old, sick, poor and uncared for" referred to by John Major at the Conservative Party Conference already a reality for thousands of Britain's sick and elderly? Panorama reveals how local authorities are swamped by the people that the NHS will no longer pay for. The programme uncovers evidence that money put aside for care has run dry. Not only is none available for nursing-home places but home help is also being withdrawn. Reporter Sarah Barclay talks to the elderly people who cost too much to care for.
