The law relating to the provision of social services for elderly and disabled people is inadequate. A ruling which means that local authorities will be able to refuse to provide residential care to older people solely because they have a little money in the bank has shocked older people and thrown government policy into disarray. Calls for an immediate change to the law so that older people continue to receive the financial support they have been promised.
