Social care: Is free personal care the answer?
Adult social care encompasses the support provided by councils to older people and younger adults with disabilities.
But this would help just a fraction of those that need care. Age UK estimates there are about 1.4 million older people who do not receive the care they need.On means, only those with assets of less than £23,250 receive support from the state to meet their costs at the moment. Labour's policy scraps this for personal care.
And what has not been addressed today, but will surely have to be at some point, is how to tackle the existing funding gap. The current system has remained largely unchanged in England since its introduction following World War Two.
