Longevity War Game
The rich people of Newcastle live 11 more healthy years than the poor. Peter Day spends time at Newcastle University where they are trying to work out how to bridge this gap.
In Newcastle, if you live in a well-off area you are likely to have 11 more healthy years of living than if you reside in a more deprived part of the city, just a few miles away. These figures are replicated in areas all over Britain. Peter Day attends a Newcastle University game, put together to try and find a way to bridge this gap by 50% in ten years with no extra money. Can they come up with new solutions or will the exercise just highlight how big a problem the country faces as the population ages?
