Re-admissions in
30days cost NHS
£2.2bn
The Bolton Context
47,000 over 65s
37% live alone
Almost 50% of over 75s
live alone
14% of over 65s care for
another
12% more deaths in
winter-27,000p.a. 206

sometimes or often
• At 80+ nearly half feel lonely often
• 1 million people over 65 feel lonely
all the time
• Families at a distance (where
