Response to IFS warning on social care funding

“We agree hard choices must be made if we are to adequately fund social care and guarantee everyone a decent pension.

“While debates on tax remain politically contentious, radical reform must focus on reducing demand for care and helping people save for later life.

“That means supporting everyone to be healthier and more active as they age, enabling people to work for longer so they can pay into pensions, and offering more support to unpaid carers.”
