In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

The elderly population in Britain usually spend their time in nursing houses where are being taken care of by hired nurses. There is much controversy over the person who has the obligation to pay for these facilities. Some argue that it is the responsibility of the

On the other hand
, paying for the retirement houses has always been viewed as a definite duty of the old folk's children.
This
perception might be reasonable provided their children can afford it. It is noteworthy to bear in mind that as long as the family is affluent not only are they expected to contribute but
