| Annotation | The Royal Commission on Long Term Care was set up by the government to recommend solutions to the problems of long-term care in the UK. Although the Royal Commission did its work quickly, ministers have been sitting on the report. Community Care has visited two Scandinavian countries to find out first-hand about the strengths and weaknesses of their long-term care systems, and to decide whether decent quality care for older people is a utopian dream. In Sweden, the hard lessons of high taxation to pay for a state-funded care system are explored. Judy Hirst looks at how the challenge is being met in Denmark. (RH). |
