Florist News

Well January is a quiet month

In a newspaper today:

As many as 10 elderly people could die from the cold every hour this winter, according to campaigners who accuse the Government of abandoning a generation of pensioners.

The National Pensioners Convention (NPC), Britain's biggest organisation representing older people, said 260,000 people had died of cold-related illnesses in the past decade.
The vast majority were over the age of 65.

Today it will warn of many more deaths this year, amid forecasts of a colder winter this year than last, and described the lack of Government help for elderly people faced with soaring fuel bills as a national scandal.

In the winter of 2004-2005 alone, 31,250 people over 65 died from cold-related illnesses in England and Wales.
