| Annotation | 'Paying for social care: beyond Dilnot' discusses the history of social care reform, and considers the planning and funding needed to meet present and future social care needs. The paper calls for health and social care services to be considered as a single system, with a new framework being put in place for planning and cost-sharing. It suggests health and well-being boards should play a key role in ensuring that care reform is part of wider transformation of local health and care services. The next stage of social care funding reform needs to address the following: the overall resources that will be needed to meet future needs and expectations and where this money should come from (some form of taxation); reform of attendance allowance by aligning it with personal budgets and limiting new recipients to those in receipt of pension credit; and to be clear about the kind of system that we are trying to fund.
