It is not just about the cost of care

Abstract

There is to be a National Care Service. It has become necessary because the number of older and/or disabled people in England and Wales will rise dramatically over the next four decades; and because social care law is currently complex, contradictory and confusing. The legal framework will have to change if problems, and costs, are to be minimised.
