| Annotation | How much will it cost to provide social care for older people in 20 years time; and what funding should be in place to ensure that money is available to support the high quality outcomes sought? The King's Fund commissioned this Review of social care for older people in England, which was led by Sir Derek Wanless. The Review team examined social and health care policy, services and spending as well as demographic, social and technological trends, to develop a model for estimating the level of need over the next 20 years. This main report is in three parts. Part 1, Evidence and trends, assesses the state of care today in terms of the policy context, the needs of an ageing population, the shortcomings of the social care system, who pays what, the workforce, informal care, and new services and technology. Part 2, Resource requirements, presents projections of future demands and costs to produce new models of care based on various scenarios. Part 3, Funding options, sets out some general principles, suggests a variety of funding systems, and assesses the most promising options. A final chapter brings together the main recommendations.
