| Annotation | Since 1997, the government has devoted much time and effort to pensions and long-term care reform, but has found it difficult to gain public support for the complex mix of policies. The starting point for this report is to assess some of the assumptions which inform and misinform the debate. It identifies the underlying objectives of pension and long-term care policy; describes the evolution of these policies in the UK; and assesses reforms since 1997. The authors conclude that a radical change of direction is necessary. They suggest a series of alternatives which might better meet objectives of ensuring better provision of pensions and long-term care for older people. (RH). |
