The Commission on Funding of Care and Support (Dilnot Commission), an independent body set up by Government to review the funding system for adult social care in England, presents its final recommendations. The report begins by outlining the reasons why the funding system needs to change. The Commission then puts forward what it considers to be a better, fairer funding system and provides the rationale for the proposed new model. They propose a cap on an individual's lifetime contribution to adult social care costs, with means-tested support for those with lower incomes. The ways in which people can be supported in meeting their contribution to any care costs are then discussed. These include financial services, advice services, and improved assessment and eligibility processes. The Commission then considers the impact of the proposed funding model on different groups in society, looks at further changes to Government may wish to make to the means-tested system; and the costs of the reform. A final chapter then proposes a timeline for implementing the reforms. (Edited publisher abstract)
