Public health concerns emerge from the census

The number of people reporting good general health decreased from 87% in the last census in 2016 to 83% in 2022. Should we be concerned about this trend? Dr Brendan O'Shea is a Kildare GP & Assistant Professor in Public Health and Primary Care at Trinity College Dublin joined us on Newstalk Breakfast. Elsewhere, the Census data also reveals that over 70s are the biggest growing demographic in the country. So, must we make changes to adjust to the ageing population? David Robinson, consultant in geriatric medicine and member of the Mercer's Institute for Successful Ageing at St James Hospital also joined us on the show this morning.
