| Annotation | There is continuing debate about the future affordability of long-term care for older people. This summary presents a range of projections of future expenditure on long-term care as a contribution to the debate. Adelina Comas-Herrera, Derek King, Juliette Malley, Linda Pickard and Raphael Wittenberg from the PSSRU, LSE Health and Social Care at the London School of Economics, and Robin Darton from the PSSRU, University of Kent, used a long-term care projections model to examine a range of different scenarios. They found that projections of future expenditure were sensitive to assumptions about trends in mortality, disability, informal care, and unit costs of care. The discussion paper summarised here is part of a wider project funded by the Department of Health (DH), which is investigating long-term care finance. (RH). |
