| Annotation | In May 2008, the 'Case for change' consultation launched a 6-month debate on reform of care and support in England, which has highlighted problems within the social care system and how it can be funded. Age Concern England (ACE) notes the results of its Big Q listening events, research and stakeholder consultation programme. This summary presents key points from ACE's Policy Response comments on realising the vision of independence, choice and control; the balance of responsibility between the individual, the family and the government; whether there should be different systems depending on different needs; whether systems should be national or local; and whether resources should be targeted at those least able to pay or supporting people who plan and save.
