| Annotation | The Royal Commission on Long Term Care was appointed in December 1997 to consider the short and long term options for the funding of long term care for older people, both in their own homes and in other settings, and how the cost of such care should be shared between public funds and individuals. This is volume one (of three) of research undertaken for the Commission to provide the context of long-term care policy. Four chapters were prepared by the Royal Commission Secretariat, and six by other authors: The costs of long-term care; Economics of long-term care finance, Raphael Wittenberg, Department of Health (DoH); Financing long-term care: the potential for insurance, Paul Fenn; Using the private sector to help fund long-term care; Poverty, disability and the use of long-term care services, Steve Almond (et al), Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU); Lessons from international experience; The impact of age on people's attitudes towards provision for elderly people, Lindsey Jarvis, Social and Community Planning Research; Public attitudes towards paying for long-term care; Black and minority ethnic elderly, Naina Patel, Policy Research Institute on Ageing and Ethnicity; and Young people's perspectives.
