(3) The NHS Plan: Long‐term Care: Continuing Challenges at the Health/Social Care Boundary

Abstract

The NHS Plan incorporates the long‐awaited response of the Government to the report of the Royal Commission on the Costs of Long‐Term Care. This article argues that the risk of cost shunt between funding agencies is perpetuated, and that new forms of care will need to be included within the standards assurance of the newly established National Care Standards Commission.
