| Annotation | The Citizens' Assembly on Social Care is a group of 47 randomly selected representative citizens (of age groups from 18+) from across England who came together over two weekends to consider how adult social care should be funded in England in the future. It was co-commissioned by the House of Commons' Health and Social Care Committee to inform its joint inquiry with the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee into the long-term funding of adult social care. Its membership emphasised the need to create a social care system and funding arrangement that is: sustainable and for the long term; fair and equal; universal; high quality; and treats people with dignity and respect. These was a preference for system whih is entirely publicly funded, making all social care free at the point of delivery, with funding from earmarked taxation. These was little support for private funding. A cap on care costs was considered important. Recommendations were also made on how decisions should be taken, such as reforming the system. While there was significant support for integrating health and social care, there was concern to "not allow social care to become the underfunded orphan service". (RH). |
