Care Beds Fall in Wales

Sep 6, 2023

There are around 500 fewer places in care homes in Wales than there were in 2015, according to a report from the BBC.

It comes as the number of people aged over 65 in Wales increased by around 100,000 in the 10 years to 2021.

Care Forum Wales said funding must be urgently overhauled as the number of homes closing due to costs has created a "really difficult" situation.
