| Annotation | Meeting costs from general taxation is an effective way of sharing, but it seems to be politically unacceptable at present to raise more taxes for this type of purpose. This article focuses on the proposed Royal Commission on long-term care. Janet Lewis, of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) suggests that the Royal Commission should be recommending a general system for deciding who gets what kind of care. Gillian Dalley, of the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) argues that if the Royal Commission is to have any teeth, it must tackle the inequality of a society that penalises its most elderly members. |
