| Annotation | In 2004, the King's Fund established a Committee of Inquiry to consider care services for older people in London. The Committee commissioned research from Laing & Buisson into the operation of the care market over a 30-year period, to examine care market trends between 1994 and 2024, identifying and explaining changes taking place in the demand for and supply of care services in the capital. This summary appears in the full report, "Trends in the London care market 1994-2024", and highlights significant differences between London and the rest of England. These differences are largely due to inner London's markedly different population profile: in most respects, outer London is similar to England as whole. The report identifies barriers to better or more accessible care, including: scarcity of local care home capacity in London and excessive placement of Londoners in care homes outside London; low levels of extra care provision in London, particularly inner London, and slow development of this form of provision; recruitment and retention of trained staff; and equity release and long-term care insurance.
