内容説明
This Green Paper, "Shaping the Future of Care Together (Cm. 7673)", sets out the Government's proposals for reforming the care and support system for adults in England and to establish a National Care Service. Care and support help people stay as independent, active, safe and well as possible, and to participate in and contribute to society throughout the different stages of their lives. Need for care and support can increase as a result of accidents, long-term illnesses, disability and growing older. The proposed National Care Service will provide six basic services: prevention; assessment; a joined-up service; information and advice; personalised care and support; and, fair funding. The Green paper explores ways in which different services can work together, a wider range of services can be developed, and better quality and innovation be achieved. The choices around funding are crucial to the reforms. The cost of care and support is high (a 65-year-old man can expect to need care costing GBP 30,000 during retirement). The Government has ruled out people paying for all of the costs or use of a tax-funded scheme (deemed unfair on those of working age).
The options for funding being proposed are: partnership, where the state would pay, for those who qualified for support, a quarter to a third of the basic care and support, with extra help for the less well-off; insurance (either private or a state scheme) to cover costs above the quarter to a third met by the state; and, comprehensive, where everyone over retirement age who could afford it would be required to pay into a state insurance scheme.
