| Annotation | This is one of ten background papers providing detailed analysis and support for the report Engaging With Care: A Vision For The Health And Care Workforce Of England, published by the Nuffield Trust in September 2007. The report, together with the set of background papers, provides an analysis of current policies and trends and identifies routes for future action. The report identifies trends and challenges that can help define the common ground in health and care policy, while allowing for different policy directions at national and local levels. This background paper presents in tabular form a highly selective list of key trends in health and social care and the wider economy, in attempt to identify breakpoints which could provoke substantial changes in health and social care policy in the future. The description of areas of uncertainty relates to uncertainty about the impact of current policy. The breakpoints suggested are subjective and highly sensitive to changing norms about, for example, the appropriate balance of expenditure between government departments, or changing societal expectations about obligations to care for family members.
