Annotation	Age Concern England (ACE) supports the main recommendations of the Royal Commission on Long Term Care for the Elderly, that all personal care should be free, funded by the state; and that a National Care Commission should be set up to take a strategic overview of long-term care. This commentary by Age Concern England (ACE) discusses each of the 27 recommendations put forward by the Royal Commission. The commentary is divided into two parts. Part A covers the recommendations for funding which directly affect individual finances. Part B covers those recommendations which are related to overseeing long-term care and improving services. Where appropriate, reference is made to the recommendations made in the Note of dissent. Unless the Government accepts the Royal Commission's recommendations, or puts forward its own proposals, community care will remain in limbo. (RH).
