A National Service Framework for Older People was published in March 2001. Just as the NSF was developed with input from older people and their relatives, this new ambition reflects what older people want of the new care system. Although overt age discrimination is now uncommon in our care system, there are still deep-rooted negative attitudes and behaviours towards older people. Within five years, it is the ambition is to ensure that older people and their families will have confidence that in all care settings, older people will be treated with respect for their dignity and their human rights.

The Commission on Funding of Care and Support was established by the Coalition Government to make recommendations on how to achieve an affordable and sustainable funding system for care and support for adults in England. This progress report sets out the Government's analysis of the Commission's recommendations (published in July 2011) and the proposed way forward on reform of how care and support is funded. It looks at the need for funding reform, stakeholder views on reform, the Commission's recommendations and how the Government is responding, the principles of funding reform, and the benefits and costs of the Commission's model. It reports that the Government supports the principles of the approach recommended by the Commission. The planned next steps include introduction of a universal system of deferred payments for residential care, a national eligibility threshold for adult care and support, a universal and authoritative source of national information about the health and care and support system, legislation to transform support for carers, and a framework for improved integration between health and care.
