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?
