More than half the hospital beds in the National Health Service are occupied by the elderly, and by the end of the century the proportion will be even higher. Four Score Years and Then ... is about one geriatric ward that gives its patients the medicine of hope. Ward 14 is a rehabilitation ward for the elderly in a south-west London hospital. It's run on the philosophy that the old and feeble have the right to choose how they want to live, even if it means letting them go home where they'll be at risk.
