Paying for social care: beyond Dilnot: This report argues that the government reforms alone will not solve the challenge of funding adult social care. It argues that whilst the social care funding cap will provide welcome protection for those who will require long stays in residential care, more should be done to meet mounting financial pressures. It calls for a stronger focus on the challenge of eligibility - ensuring that more people are able to access the right level of support. It also raises concerns that unmet need, and its impact on carers, will place further pressure on an NHS already under significant strain, arguing that it is time to look beyond the Dilnot report at how to secure enough resources to meet current and future needs.
