Despite government warnings that the elderly care system is unsustainable, 70% of over-55s don't believe that they should pay for care in retirement.

Just 2% have long-term care insurance, while the vast majority say they are worried, concerned or terrified about their likely care costs in old age, according to research from Aviva.
