The social care system is widely seen as failing and it has long been clear that fundamental and lasting reform is necessary. Reform is made all the more urgent as an ageing population will mean rising demand for care and support. Projected changes in demographics, availability of support from carers, unit costs of care and other factors indicate that social care in its current form will struggle to meet people's needs. Longer life need not mean more time spent in ill health. Improving public health and developing interventions for long-term conditions could pay major dividends. The old-age "support ratio" (the relative numbers of working-age and older people) is not the most important factor in the likely future affordability of social care. Our society must not underestimate its ability to become more productive and wealthier, nor the contribution that older people will make to that. In this report the Health Committee looks at: the present social care system; meeting future demand and costs; shortcomings of the present social care system; plans for reform; achieving lasting reform; and, the way forward.

NHS continuing care means fully funded care for people who do not require care in an NHS acute hospital, but who nevertheless require a high degree of ongoing health care. Anybody can qualify for NHS continuing care funding if their needs satisfy eligibility criteria, although the largest group of people who receive continuing care funding are elderly people. Continuing care funding is intended to cover the entire costs of care, including all medical care, nursing care, personal care, living costs and accommodation costs, the same as if their care was being provided in an NHS hospital. Eligibility for continuing care funding is currently established with reference to criteria introduced by the Department of Health in 1995. The criteria relate to the complexity, intensity or unpredictability of a patient's healthcare needs, requiring the regular supervision of a consultant, specialist nurse or other member of the NHS multidisciplinary team. From 1995 onwards, individual Health Authorities were each required to develop local policies and eligibility criteria for continuing care funding within this general framework.
