By using age to allocate NHS funding, Lansley rewards Tory voters

Health secretary Andrew Lansley said at a NHS Clinical Commissioners conference in April: "age is the principal determinant of health need". It follows from this the NHS should devote a greater proportion of its resources in areas with the largest elderly populations.

But the evidence doesn't stack up. Furthermore, it looks like the funding is being shifted for political reasons.
