| Annotation | Some of the background to the current debate on long-term care is examined, in particular policy developments influencing provision: community care; the boundaries between health and social care; the extension of home ownership; and individual responsibility for welfare. The Royal Commission's recommendations (and dissenting note) are summarised, noting problems with defining personal care and whether reference is being made to nursing or residential home care. The author considers the extent to which the recommendations are likely to deal with long-standing issues of who should pay for long-term care and how. (RH). |
