| Annotation | The King's Fund has commissioned the Wanless Social Care Review to look at future funding of social care, specifically the situation for older people. A project team based at the King's Fund is working in collaboration with the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) at the London School of Economics. This paper presents an initial scoping on two of the Review's terms of reference. The first is to examine the demographic, economic, social health and other relevant trends over the next 20 years that are likely to affect the demand for, and nature of social care for older people (aged 65+) in England. The second is to identify the financial and other resources required to ensure that older people who need social care are able to secure comprehensive, high-quality care that reflects the preferences of those receiving care. While evidence and information in this paper will eventually be included in a full report in Spring 2006, it is also relevant in the context of other policy documents: the Green paper, "Independence, well-being and choice"; the Care Service Inquiry from the King's Fund; and the House of Commons Health Committee report, "NHS continuing care".
