Short changed: The Care Bill, top-ups and the emerging crisis in residential care funding This report aims to explore the effects of the government's plans for reforming care funding on the role of 'top-ups' and the rules applied to them. It describes the operation of the current residential care market, including the growing use of 'third party' top-ups and sets out the main components of the government's care funding reforms that will result in 'self-funder top-ups' for the first time. It also explores if and how current rules on top-ups should be applied to 'self-funder top-ups' and concludes with key recommendations for policy makers.
