| Annotation | Our population is ageing, and the need for long-term care for older people is projected to more than double over the next 30 years. One in five of the UK population will develop long-term care needs, yet the social care system is still not fit for current and future generations of older people: it is under-funded and perceived to be unfair. This report is supported by Age Concern, and makes the case for restructuring the social care system. It recommends a new role for elected local authorities in the commissioning, co-ordinating and supply side of a radically improved care offer for older people. It aims to contribute to the debate around funding in the light of the Green Paper due to be published during 2009. (RH). |
