Quality Watch March 2014
- This report from Health Foundation and Nuffield Trust, describes the scale and nature of reductions in publicly funded social care for older adults in England that have occurred in part as a result of the Coalition Government’s efforts to reduce public sector spending following the financial crisis of 2008.
- "It is clear that services have been reduced and the numbers in receipt of publicly funded care have also reduced but it is not clear what impact this is having on the wellbeing of those who receive social care services, or on the health and wellbeing of their carers."
- The report suggests approaches to understanding what is happening to all social care users and carers, regardless of their funding source.
