At present, just over half of all care costs in England are paid for by the state, concentrated on those who have the fewest resources in terms of income and capital. These costs include nursing care, personal care and, for those in care homes, the cost of accommodation, sometimes called ‘hotel costs’. About 60 per cent of the total cost of personal care in England is paid for by the state. Participants will be asked to discuss whether the state should pay for some or all of an individual’s personal care costs, regardless of income and assets, as well as how any increase in eligibility could be funded.
