Findings
- 99 per cent of participants thought that more money needed to be spent on social care, while 90 per cent rejected the current means-tested funding model.
- Around 75 per cent supported some kind of partnership model, although there was less agreement on what this should look like. Participants wanted the system to be clearer and fairer, to cover more needs, to give older people more control and to give more support to carers.
- In other words, the project's report The Future of Care Funding concluded: ‘Tomorrow’s older people will be willing to contribute to an equitable system for funding care, as long as it “does what it says on the tin”.’
