| Annotation | This paper takes a critical look at the model for funding continuing care for older people reported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) inquiry, `Meeting the costs of continuing care', in 1996. It aims to identify and discuss any problems or contradictions within the model, but does not seek to offer an opinion on the merits or otherwise of any - or all - of the elements of the inquiry's model. It sets out a summary of the inquiry's funding model. Comments are made on services and funding systems for which there was no detailed discussion, including: equipment; housing adaptations; transport for services; all forms of sheltered accommodation; and residents in residential homes under the `preserved rights' system of financial support. The critique concludes that more detailed information is required to work out how the scheme would work in practice, particularly on funding mechanisms. (RH). |
