| Annotation | The government has still not answered crucial questions over its plans for long-term care for older people. With an ageing population, how will it fund a system that is likely to cost a lot more? And will people still have to sell their homes? This article notes that the 2007 Pre-Budget report and Comprehensive Spending Review (Cm 7227; p 100) includes passing reference to a new way of financing and providing adult long-term care. Representatives from leading charities, primary care trusts (PCTS) and local councils comment on this proposal in the light of the 2005 Green Paper, "Independence, well-being and choice". (RH). |
