The Future of Care Funding – Time for a Change (7th January 2008)
The UK needs a new system to pay for long-term care for older people, which combines a clear-cut entitlement to care and support with a sharing of costs between individuals and the state. This was the conclusion, published today (The Future of Care Funding: Time for a change), of a nine-month consultation initiative involving over 700 people with experience of the long term care system as users, carers, providers or researchers. The Caring Choices initiative was run by a coalition of 15 organisations with an interest in the long-term care system, led by the King’s Fund, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Help the Aged and Age Concern.
