Dilnot Commission

The Dilnot Commission's recommendations on long term care (LTC) are not the only course of action and the Government is being overly criticised in the run up to next month's White Paper on social care, Partnership has said.

Failure to reform the long term care (LTC) system could force the closure of parks, libraries and public toilets the leaders of every major council in England and Wales have warned.

Nearly three quarters of advisers (71%) believe providers should create new prefunded long term care products, but more IFAs need to advise in this sector, a free Defaqto research paper has found.

MPs from the All Party Local Government group have launched an inquiry examining the future of care provision, answering questions thrown up by the Dilnot Commission report.

As the spotlight focuses on long-term care, Greg Becker asks if the French can offer a funding solution apart from immediate needs annuities.

The Health Committee report on Social Care is making recommendations having failed to understand the technicalities behind the Dilnot Report, Partnership has said.

The government is expected to recommend a cap on long-term care (LTC) fees of between £50,000 and £60,000, according to a report.

With white papers due this year on long-term care (Dilnot Review), sickness absence and also the Treasury's work on simple products, how much explicit help (not just macro changes to benefits and the NHS) would you want the government to give the industry?...

Insurers and charities have urged the government and other party leaders to agree on substantial reforms to the social care system that is causing further damage to the NHS.

Andrew Dilnot has branded suggestions that the government could delay moves to tackle long-term care reforms until 2025 as "unacceptable".
