| Annotation | Debate about the future of social care should be in the public domain. Help the Aged sets out some key principles, and advocates the partnership model that emerged from the Wanless review for the King's Fund as the best way forward for social care in England. Medium to long term solutions are sought, and as such should be part of the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review. This report outlines six fundamental principles for a new social care system: fair; share responsibility between the state and the individual; capable of delivering quality care; capable of offering individuals choice about the care they receive; adequately resourced; and sustainable.
