The NHS at 60.

Eddie Mair | 12:35 UK time, Tuesday, 1 July 2008

On the programme tonight, our health correspondent Branwen Jeffreys looks at how the NHS, as it approaches 60 itself, can deal with an ageing population. The numbers of over 80s are expected to grow rapidly, putting heavier demands on healthcare. Branwen has been to see how they do it in Japan, which has the fastest ageing population in the world. If you know what I mean. The Government there has been trying to cope by making changes to its system, that are proving hugely controversial. Much more tonight.

There's a good deal more on the NHS at 60, .
